Question #: 8
Topic #: 3

To equalize each comparable property to the subject property when performing the sales comparison approach, the appraiser should make adjustments to:

Aboth the subject and comparable properties.

Bonly the comparable properties.

Cthe property being appraised.

Donly the subject property.

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: B

In the sales comparison approach, appraisers always make adjustments to the comparable properties --- never to the subject property --- to reflect how they differ from the subject. This ensures that all comparables are on an equal footing with the subject being appraised. Thus, answer B is correct.

D) only the subject? That doesn’t seem right. We need to adjust the comps!

I feel like C) the property being appraised could work too. Adjusting the subject seems logical.

B is the answer. Adjusting the subject property would be like trying to teach a cat to bark.

Definitely B. Adjusting the subject property would be like trying to fit a square peg in a round hole.

B seems like the right choice here. We want to adjust the comparable sales to be more similar to the subject property, not the other way around.

Okay, let's see. The question is asking about how to equalize the properties, so I'm guessing we need to make adjustments to the comparables. I'll go with B.
