Property Valuation
A Colorado appraiser's adjustment grid shows the subject property is superior to most comparables. Most adjustments to the comparables will be:
ANegative (downward), making the comparables appear closer to the subject's higher value✓ Correct
BPositive (upward), adding value to the comparables
CNo adjustments needed if the comparables are well-selected
DPositive and negative in equal amounts
Explanation
When the subject is superior to a comparable in a specific feature, the appraiser adjusts the comparable UPWARD (positive adjustment to the comp). Let me reclarify: If comp sold for $350k but lacks the subject's pool (+$15k), the adjusted comp = $365k.
