Property Valuation
A comparable sale sold for $250,000 and has a feature the subject property lacks. The appraiser adjusts the comparable by -$5,000. This means:
AThe subject property is valued $5,000 more than the comparable
BThe comparable is inferior to the subject property
CThe comparable's superior feature is worth $5,000, so the adjusted value is $245,000✓ Correct
DThe subject property value increases by $5,000
Explanation
When a comparable is superior to the subject, the appraiser subtracts the adjustment from the comparable's price. The comparable's adjusted value is $250,000 - $5,000 = $245,000.
