A comparable sold for $355,000. It is in a superior location worth 5%, and has 200 fewer square feet of gross living area than the subject at $70 per square foot. What is the adjusted price?

Correct Answer

C) $351,250

Why this is correct: the comparable is superior in location and inferior in size, so the adjustments oppose. Calculation: $355,000 - ($355,000 × 0.05) + (200 × $70) = $355,000 - $17,750 + $14,000 = $351,250. Why the other choices are wrong: $386,750 adds both and $323,250 deducts both; $337,250 makes the location adjustment and omits the size adjustment.
