Property Valuation
In the sales comparison approach, an adjustment is made for a feature the comparable has but the subject lacks. This is:
AA positive adjustment added to the comparable's sale price
BA negative adjustment subtracted from the comparable's sale price✓ Correct
CNo adjustment since the subject is the benchmark
DAn adjustment to the subject's value directly
Explanation
When a comparable is SUPERIOR to the subject (has a feature the subject lacks), a NEGATIVE adjustment is made to the comparable's sale price to account for that extra value. The goal is to estimate what the comparable would have sold for if it were more like the subject.
