Property Valuation
When appraising a single-family home, the sales comparison approach requires adjustments when comparable sales differ from the subject property. A positive adjustment means:
AThe comparable is superior to the subject on that feature
BThe comparable is inferior to the subject on that feature, so the comparable's price is increased✓ Correct
CThe subject property value is reduced
DThe adjustment is added to the subject's value
Explanation
In the sales comparison approach, if a comparable is inferior to the subject (e.g., the comparable lacks a feature the subject has), a positive adjustment is added to the comparable's sale price to make it more equivalent to the subject. The adjustments are made to the comparables, not the subject.
