Explanation

Paired sales analysis (matched pairs) involves finding two comparable sales that are identical in all respects except the feature being analyzed (e.g., garage vs. no garage). The price difference between the pair isolates the market value contribution of that specific feature. Oregon appraisers use this technique to develop dollar adjustments in the sales comparison approach.
