What is a CMA (Comparative Market Analysis):
It is a report that a licensed real estate professional prepares, where similar properties in size and features to the subject property, that are located in the same market area, that were sold in the past 6 months, are selected and used to establish a price range where the subject property should be sold in normal conditions. Properties available for sale can influence that price range at a much lesser extent.

You need a CMA to help you establish a marketable price for a property to conduct a sale-purchase transaction with the least of inconveniences.

What is an Appraisal:
It is an assignment where an appraiser (A trainee supervised by a State Certified Appraiser or A State Certified Appraiser), prepares a report using several real estate techniques and laws to come to an specific value on an specific date of a subject property, by selecting similar properties in size and features, that were sold within the past 12 months in the same market area. Adjustments need to be made by size, features, location, conditions of sale, market conditions, conditions of property and time of sale of the comparable properties to arrive at a sustainable value for the subject property.
