Property Valuation
When using the sales comparison approach, an appraiser makes adjustments to comparable sales. If a comparable has an extra full bathroom that the subject property lacks, the appraiser will:
AAdd value to the subject property
BSubtract value from the comparable sale price✓ Correct
CAdd value to the comparable sale price
DIgnore the difference if it is under $5,000
Explanation
Adjustments are made to the comparable, not the subject. If the comparable is superior (extra bathroom), the appraiser subtracts the value contribution of that feature from the comparable's sale price.
