Property Valuation
When adjusting comparables in the sales comparison approach, the appraiser adjusts the comparable, not the subject. If a comp has a superior feature, the adjustment is:
AA positive adjustment to the comparable
BA negative adjustment to the comparable✓ Correct
CNo adjustment
DAn adjustment to the subject property
Explanation
If the comparable is superior to the subject in a feature, a negative (downward) adjustment is made to the comparable's price, reflecting what the comparable would have sold for if it were equal to the subject.
