Property Valuation
A Florida residential appraiser adjusting for garage space differences uses a $5,000 adjustment per garage space. A comparable has a 2-car garage and the subject has a 1-car garage. The adjustment applied to the comparable is:
A+$5,000 to the comparable
B−$5,000 to the comparable✓ Correct
C+$10,000 to the comparable
D−$10,000 to the comparable
Explanation
The comparable is SUPERIOR (2 cars vs. 1 car), so we subtract $5,000 from the comparable's price. Rule: if comparable is better than subject, make a negative adjustment to the comparable. If comparable is worse, make a positive adjustment. Comparable price − $5,000 = adjusted comparable price used in the analysis.
