Property Valuation
An Ohio appraiser identifies a comparable sale that is superior to the subject property in garage size (+$3,000 adjustment). The appraiser should:
AAdd $3,000 to the subject property's value
BSubtract $3,000 from the comparable's sale price✓ Correct
CAdd $3,000 to the comparable's sale price
DIgnore the difference if it is under $5,000
Explanation
When the comparable is superior to the subject, the appraiser subtracts the adjustment from the comparable's sale price to equalize it to the subject. (Superior comp → minus adjustment.)
