Question

If house A had a sale price of $70,000, monthly rent of $500, and a GRM of 140; House B had a sale price of $68,500, monthly rent of $490, and GRM of 139.8 and House C had a sale price of $70,500, a monthly rent of $485, and a GRM of 139.6, what would be the value of a property which rented for $495 in the same neighborhood, assuming that house A is the best comparable?

Answer 1

$69,300

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

House A :

Sales price = $70,000

Monthly rent = $500

GRM = 140

House B :

Sales price = $68,500

Monthly rent = $490

GRM = 139.8

House C :

Sales price = $70,500

Monthly rent = $485

GRM = 139.6

The gross rent multiplier GRM is obtained as the proportion of the sale price of a property to it's monthly rent.

GRM = (Sales price / monthly rent)

If a property is rented for 495 and house A is the

most comparable, then

Sales price will be closest to:

GRM of House A × monthly rent of property

140 × $495 = $69,300
