Using the sales comparison method, if a subject property had an extra full bathroom ($6,000) that the comparable property did not, but was on a less desirable lot ($5,000), the proper adjustment would be to:
A characteristic such as having an extra bathroom in the subject property is the same as saying the comparable is inferior. As such, you would add $6,000 to the price of the comparable.
