Question

A house is being appraised using the sales comparison approach. The house has three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a patio. The appraiser selects a comparable house that has three bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, and no patio. The comparable house just sold for $200,000. A bath is valued at $7,000, and a patio at $2,000. Assuming all else is equal, what is the adjusted value of the comparable

Answer 1

$195,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculation for the adjusted value of the comparable

Using this formula

Adjusted value=( Sales of comparable house-Bath value +Patio cost)

Let plug in the formula

Adjusted value=$200,000-$7,000+$2,000

Adjusted value =$195,000

Therefore the adjusted value of the comparable assuming all else is equal would be $195,000
