Property Valuation

An appraiser in South Dakota compares a 3/2 subject home to a 4/2 comparable. The extra bedroom in the comparable is worth $10,000 in the market. The appraiser makes:

AA positive $10,000 adjustment to the subject's estimated value
BA negative $10,000 adjustment to the comparable's sale price✓ Correct
CA positive $10,000 adjustment to the comparable's sale price
DNo adjustment since bedrooms don't affect value

Explanation

The comparable has an extra bedroom (superior to subject). The appraiser deducts $10,000 from the comparable's price (negative adjustment to comparable) to make it equivalent to the subject's bedroom count.
