Market Comparison Approach

Method of appraising real estate based on the market comparison of neighboring properties having similar characteristics. Seeks to answer the question: What would it cost to substitute a similar property for the current one?

There still are substantial differences between two properties. This requires an individual to make a judgmental appraisal.
