Adjustments (in Appraisal)

Dollar value or percentage amounts that, when added to or subtracted from the sales price of a Comparable, provide an indication of the value of a subject property. Adjustments are necessary to compensate for variation in the features of the comparable relative to the subject.

Example: An appraisal is to be made of a four-bedroom house. One Comparable is similar in all salient characteristics, including total size, except that it has 3 bedrooms. This comparable sold for $100,000. The appraiser makes an adjustment of $1,000 to the comparable to account for the difference of bedrooms. The adjusted sales price of the comparable is $101,000.
