Property Valuation

A Missouri appraiser using the sales comparison approach makes a negative adjustment for a feature the subject property lacks but the comparable has. This means:

AThe comparable's value is reduced to match the subject
BThe comparable's sale price is reduced to reflect what it would have sold for without that feature✓ Correct
CThe subject property's value is increased
DNo adjustment is needed

Explanation

In sales comparison adjustments, you adjust the comparable TO the subject. If the comparable has a feature the subject lacks (e.g., a pool), make a negative adjustment to the comparable's price — subtract what that feature is worth.
