Property Valuation
A Massachusetts residential appraiser is adjusting comparables. A comparable sold for $550,000 but lacks a garage that the subject property has, valued at $25,000. The adjusted sale price of the comparable is:
A$525,000
B$550,000
C$575,000✓ Correct
D$600,000
Explanation
When a comparable is inferior to the subject (lacks the garage), the appraiser adds the value to the comparable. Adjusted value = $550,000 + $25,000 = $575,000.
