Property Valuation

CThe comparable sold more than 12 months ago

Explanation
When a comparable is superior to the subject in a particular feature, the appraiser subtracts (makes a negative adjustment) from the comparable's sale price. The logic: if the comp is better than the subject, the comp's price must be reduced to reflect the subject's lesser value.
