Property Valuation
An appraiser adds $10,000 to a comparable's sale price to account for a swimming pool that the subject property has but the comparable lacks. This adjustment is:
AA positive adjustment to the comparable, indicating the subject is superior in this feature✓ Correct
BA negative adjustment to the comparable
CAn adjustment to the subject rather than the comparable
DNot necessary if the pool is less than 200 sq ft
Explanation
When the subject has a feature the comparable lacks (like a pool), the comparable is adjusted UPWARD (positive adjustment) to make it equivalent to the subject. The adjusted comparable will then have a higher value, supporting the subject's higher value.
