Property Valuation

A Minnesota appraiser adjusts a comparable sale for time. The comparable sold 8 months ago and the market has been appreciating at 0.5% per month. What is the time adjustment for a $300,000 comparable?

A$10,000
B$12,000✓ Correct
C$15,000
D$9,000

Explanation

Time adjustment = $300,000 x (0.5% x 8 months) = $300,000 x 4% = $12,000. In an appreciating Minnesota market, older comparable sales must be adjusted upward to reflect current values. Time adjustments are based on demonstrated market appreciation rates from paired sale analysis.
