Sales Comparison Approach Clause Samples
The Sales Comparison Approach clause defines a method for determining the value of a property by comparing it to similar properties that have recently been sold in the same area. In practice, this approach involves analyzing the sale prices of comparable properties, adjusting for differences such as size, condition, and location to estimate a fair market value for the subject property. Its core function is to provide an objective and market-based valuation, ensuring that property pricing is aligned with current market trends and reducing the risk of over- or under-valuation.

Comparable sales should be located as close as possible to the subject dwelling, from within the competitive market area, and should be the most comparable available for purposes ofvaluation.
