Property Valuation

What is a 'paired sales analysis' used in real estate appraisal?

AA. Comparing two properties with the same listing agent to determine commission rates
BB. Comparing two sales that are identical except for one feature to isolate the market value of that feature✓ Correct
CC. Pairing the income approach with the cost approach for a more reliable estimate
DD. Comparing the asking price and selling price of properties to determine negotiating power

Explanation

Paired sales analysis (matched pair analysis) identifies two comparable sales that differ only in one characteristic to isolate that feature's market value contribution. For example, finding two similar homes with the same features but different lot sizes allows the appraiser to quantify the value difference attributable to lot size alone.
