Explanation
Paired sales analysis (also called matched pairs analysis) is the technique appraisers use to determine the dollar value of specific property differences. By finding two sales that are identical except for one feature, the appraiser can isolate the value contribution of that feature. These adjustments are then applied to comparables to estimate the subject property's value.
