# Compare Properties

Provides a side-by-side comparison of multiple listings across key dimensions.

## How it works

When a visitor asks to compare properties, the ARIS AI engine:

1. Identifies the listings being compared (from search results or conversation context)
2. Pulls the data for each listing
3. Generates a structured comparison across price, size, location, features, and value

## Example

### Natural language

> "Compare the first two homes you showed me"
> "How does 123 Main St compare to 456 Oak Ave?"
> "Which of those is a better deal?"

### Via chat API

Send the comparison request as a message in the conversation. ARIS uses context from previous turns to identify which listings to compare:

```json theme={null}
{
  "messages": [
    {"role": "user", "content": "Show me homes in Austin under $500k"},
    {"role": "assistant", "content": "I found 3 homes: ..."},
    {"role": "user", "content": "Compare the first two"}
  ]
}
```

## Comparison dimensions

| Dimension     | Details                                         |
| ------------- | ----------------------------------------------- |
| **Price**     | List price, price per sq ft                     |
| **Size**      | Beds, baths, total sq ft, lot size              |
| **Location**  | Neighborhood, commute, schools                  |
| **Condition** | Year built, days on market, recent updates      |
| **Value**     | Price relative to comps, appreciation potential |

## MCP

Comparison is handled by the `ask_aris` tool for full AI context:

```json theme={null}
{
  "name": "ask_aris",
  "arguments": {
    "question": "Compare listing a12345 and listing b67890"
  }
}
```
