Property Valuation
In Arizona, a property appraiser finds that the subject property has a 3-car garage while all comparables have 2-car garages. If the market shows a 2-car garage adds $8,000 in value over a 1-car, the appraiser would make:
AA $8,000 upward adjustment to the comparables✓ Correct
BA $8,000 downward adjustment to the comparables
CNo adjustment since all comparables have 2-car garages
DAn $8,000 upward adjustment to the subject's value
Explanation
The subject (3-car) is superior to the comparables (2-car). The appraiser adjusts the comparable's price upward by approximately $8,000 to simulate what they would have sold for if they had the extra garage bay.
