Property Valuation
An appraiser using the sales comparison approach finds a comparable sale with a garage that the subject property lacks. The appraiser would make a:
APositive adjustment to the comparable's sale price
BNegative adjustment to the comparable's sale price✓ Correct
CNo adjustment — the subject and comparable are in the same market
DPositive adjustment to the subject property's value
Explanation
When the comparable has a feature the subject lacks, the appraiser makes a negative (downward) adjustment to the comparable's price to make it reflect what it would have sold for without the garage. This makes the comparable's adjusted price comparable to the subject.
