Property Valuation

In Kansas, when an appraiser analyzes a market 'in decline' or 'transitional neighborhood,' they must be particularly careful to:

AUse only older comparables from the stable period
BUse the most recent sales as indicators of current market direction and ensure comparable adjustments reflect current market conditions✓ Correct
CApply a standard 5% declining market adjustment to all sales
DObtain the buyer's confirmation of market decline before adjusting

Explanation

In declining markets, recent sales are most relevant. The appraiser must analyze current market trends and apply appropriate adjustments to reflect declining conditions rather than using older, stable-market data.
