Property Valuation
An appraiser is using the sales comparison approach and finds that the subject property has a superior view compared to all comparable sales. The appraiser should make:
AA negative adjustment to the subject
BA positive adjustment to the subject
CNo adjustment for view
DA negative adjustment to each comparable✓ Correct
Explanation
In the sales comparison approach, adjustments are made to the comparable, not the subject. When the subject is superior in a feature (better view), the appraiser makes a negative adjustment to each comparable — because if the comparables had the same superior view, they would have sold for more.
