Property Valuation

When an appraiser in Oklahoma uses the sales comparison approach for a single-family residence, adjustments are made for differences between the subject property and comparables. A positive adjustment means:

AThe subject property is superior to the comparable in that feature
BThe comparable is superior to the subject in that feature, so the comparable's sale price must be increased to reflect what it would have sold for if it were equal to the subject✓ Correct
CThe appraiser adds value to the subject arbitrarily
DNo adjustment is needed

Explanation

In the sales comparison approach, if a comparable is superior to the subject in some feature, the comparable's price is adjusted upward (positive adjustment) to reflect what the comparable would have sold for had it lacked that superior feature — making it equivalent to the subject.
