Case Study Bas ed on the following information, complete the "SALES COMPARISON ANALY- SIS" section of the Uniform Residential Report for the property at 1731 Pine Road. (You will need to refer to the case study for Chapter 5 for additional information regarding the subject property.) Subject: 1731 Pine Road is being appraised n connection with a sale of the property for $342,750. Data have been verified by the seller. Except for the current sale, the property has not been listed or sold within the previous 36 months. The location of the property is considered average for the neighborhood. Ravenswood has no common elements, and does not charge any HOA fee. The design and appeal of the home are good, and it is in good condition; construction quality and functional utility are average. There are no unusual energy-efficient items on the property. Through the Oakdale Multiple Listing Service, you have identified three recent sales in the Ravenswood development. All of these sales involved transfer of a fee simple in- terest, as confirmed by local county records. Comparable sales data have been verified by the listing agents, and data for sales #1 and #2 were verified by the current owners of those properties as well. The MLS confirms that there were no other sales of these three properties within the past 12 months. Except as otherwise noted, the characteristics of the comparables are equivalent to those of the subject. The estimated value differences for different elements of comparison are based on recent paired data set analyses of similar properties in the area. Comparable 1. The property at 1947 Fir Road is approximately 2 blocks from the subject property. It was sold on June 15 of this year for $331,800, with conventional loan financ- ing. The condition of the property is average, making it $3,000 inferior to the subject in this regard. The home is 5 years old, which you estimate should require a price adjustment of $6,000. This property has 7 total rooms, with 3 bedrooms and 2 baths and a total living area of 2,206 square feet. You have estimated an adjustment of $3,000 for the difference ih number of baths, and $6,750 to account for the difference n number of bedrooms. Comparable 2 1702 Fir Road, located 2 blocks from the subject, is a new home that sold on August 3 of this year for $353,250. The seller paid $4,500 towards the buyer's loan discount points. The home has the same room count as the subject property, with a total of 2,432 square feet; the difference n size warrants an adjustment of $2,250. The at- tached garage & a 3-car, requiring an adjustment of $5,250. You estimate an adjustment of $9,000 to account for the difference in age, and $6,000 to reflect the home's superior landscaping. 1702 Fir Road is inferior to the subject in two respects: its location is next to the state highway, and the property has not been fenced. Market data indicate correspond- ing adjustments of $7,500 and $1,500 will be needed to account for these differences.
