If you have an "only" reference then we're certainly open to considering it. Aside from that we are getting into personal interpretations. It is my assumption - and should be your assumption - that if Fannie's form designers had actually meant to say "based only on the sales comparison" they would have said it that way. In lieu of references to the contrary all that's left is what they actualy did say.
Pics or it didn't happen.
I just don't know how I can make it any clearer. There are no assumptions - they intended for the sales comparison approach to be the approach that the appraiser used to develop his opinion of market value. That is why the form says, and I'll quote again (although it's really redundant), "I developed my opinion of the market value of the real property that is the subject of this report based on the sales comparison approach to value."
