Property Valuation
An appraiser in Providence uses three comparable sales. The first indicates $400,000, the second $410,000, and the third $390,000. The appraiser gives the most weight to the best comparable. If the third comp is most similar to the subject, what final value might the appraiser conclude?
A$390,000✓ Correct
B$395,000
C$400,000
D$405,000
Explanation
When the most similar comparable indicates $390,000 and the appraiser gives it the most weight during reconciliation, the final value opinion would typically be around $390,000 or slightly above, reflecting the best comparable.
