What?

Operating since 2005, OpenComps is an open community database tracking completed commercial real estate transactions involving hotel, office, retail, and residential (multi-family) buildings.

OpenComps is aimed at improving the transparency of these transactions through Wikipedia-style sharing and editing of data by the OpenComps community.

OpenComps is a sophisticated database that is continually improved upon to better store and display transaction data and statistics. Malicious and fraudulent input of data is continuously monitored and removed. Although, serious effort is put to verify each transaction based on public and private sources, data accuracy is not guaranteed. As the saying goes, trust but verify.

The use of OpenComps is open and free, and can be accessed on an anonymous basis or as a registered user. Only registered users can edit existing or add new transactions.

OpenComps offers advanced features and data-analysis tools on a premium basis. New features and tools are continually developed, such as detailed, field-specific search capability, customized data sets and data export in Microsoft Excel© format.
