Property Valuation
In the sales comparison approach, if a comparable property has a feature that the subject property lacks, the appraiser makes what type of adjustment to the comparable's price?
AA positive (upward) adjustment to the subject's value
BA negative (downward) adjustment to the comparable's price✓ Correct
CNo adjustment is needed
DAn adjustment only to the subject property's land value
Explanation
When a comparable has a feature the subject lacks, the comparable is superior in that regard, so the appraiser makes a negative (downward) adjustment to the comparable's price to equalize for the difference.
