Property Valuation
A Mississippi appraiser adjusts a comparable sale that had a swimming pool when the subject property does not. The appraiser would make a:
APositive adjustment to the comparable
BNegative adjustment to the comparable (subtract the pool's value from the comparable's sale price)✓ Correct
CNo adjustment for amenity differences
DPositive adjustment to the subject
Explanation
Adjustments are made to the comparable, not the subject. The comparable has a swimming pool (superior feature) that the subject lacks, so the appraiser subtracts (negative adjustment) the pool's market value contribution from the comparable's sale price to make it equivalent to the subject.
