Property Valuation

When an appraiser uses paired sales analysis in the sales comparison approach, the purpose is to:

AFind two properties with identical sale prices
BIsolate and measure the contributory value of a single feature by comparing otherwise identical sales✓ Correct
CConfirm that two comparable sales were arm's-length transactions
DPair a recent sale with a pending sale to establish trend direction

Explanation

Paired sales analysis uses two sales that are identical in all respects except one feature to isolate the market value contribution of that feature. For example, comparing sales of identical homes with and without a pool to quantify the pool's value.
