Property Valuation
When using the sales comparison approach, what adjustment is made when the comparable property has a feature the subject property lacks?
AA. Add to the comparable's sales price✓ Correct
BB. Subtract from the comparable's sales price
CC. No adjustment is needed
DD. Multiply by a market factor
Explanation
If the comparable is inferior to the subject (missing a feature the subject has), you ADD to the comparable's price. If the comparable is superior, you subtract. The rule: adjust the comparable, never the subject.
