Sf Adjustments

Status
Not open for further replies.
I think the smallest adjustment I have ever used was $10 per square foot and that was on a cabin. More typically is $20 to $30 in lower priced neighborhoods IN MY MARKETING AREA.

What you should be asking is...."how do I arrive at an adjustment that is supported by the market?". The answer to that is paired sales analysis. I know, I know...that is "old school" but it works and supports what you end up doing.
 
Is it inappropriate to use a sf adjustment of $5.00 on a 600 s.f. dwelling that is inferior to other properties in the neighborhood? What comment would be appropriate?

Wow that sounds like a shack. Garage?
 
The OP is missing in action. This happens frequently. I don't get it. People take time to answer, then nothing else from the person who asked the question.
 
Going going...gone.

Too little info. What is the value of the house? Land? What is the age of the house. Is it a tear down? What are the living areas of the comparables? What are the comps selling for?
 
Seems awful low to me. A 10% difference in GLA would only be a $300.00 adjustment. Guess it would depend on sale prices of comps. On a 30K property that $300.00 would be 1%. On a 60K property it would be 1/2%. Pretty high degree of accuracy IMHO.

You should have been around in they days of $18,000 row homes in Philly
