Property Valuation
In the sales comparison approach, an adjustment is made to the comparable sale, not to the subject property. If a comparable sold for $200,000 and has a pool worth $15,000 that the subject lacks, the appraiser:
AAdds $15,000 to the subject's value
BSubtracts $15,000 from the comparable's sale price✓ Correct
CAdds $15,000 to the comparable's sale price
DMakes no adjustment since the buyer paid the market price
Explanation
Adjustments are made to the comparable, not the subject. The comparable has a pool that the subject lacks — the pool makes the comparable superior in this regard.
