Property Valuation
A recently sold comparable property is 200 square feet larger than the subject property. If the market indicates a value of $75 per square foot, what adjustment should the appraiser make to the comparable?
AAdd $15,000 to the comparable
BSubtract $15,000 from the comparable✓ Correct
CAdd $15,000 to the subject's value
DNo adjustment is needed for size differences
Explanation
The comparable is superior to the subject (larger by 200 sq ft). Adjustment = 200 × $75 = $15,000. Because the comparable is superior, the appraiser subtracts $15,000 from the comparable's sale price to estimate what it would have sold for without the size advantage.
