Section 22
Sales Comparison Approach
Appendix F-1, page 214
The Sales Comparison Approach section captures a market analysis of the subject property via a grid of comparable transactions (comps) and their characteristics. The "sales grid" (or "sales comparison grid") displays a summary of the evidence in support of the appraiser's opinion of value in the form of market-driven adjustments for differences in characteristics. The section provides space for commentary and exhibits.
Due to the expandable nature of the sales comparison grid:
- Do not represent the same information more than once in the sales grid.
- Do not duplicate line items and/or their adjustments.
The Sales Comparison Approach displays when the field Sales Comparison Approach Developed by Appraiser is Yes, and the "When to Include" column in this chapter reflects this.
Sales Comparison Approach Developed by Appraiser
| Report Field ID | Report Label | When to Include | Allowable Answers / Format | Definition / Additional Guidance |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Not on Report | This is an appraiser input that does not display | Always required | Yes | No | Sales Comparison Approach Developed by Appraiser - Yes (The Sales Comparison Approach section is included) - No (The Sales Comparison Approach section is not included) Note: Sales Comparison Approach Developed by Appraiser does not display. |

- General Information (always displays)
- Project Information (if applicable, or if relevant)
- Site (always displays)

Key Concepts#
Subject and Comparable Information#
Subject Property Information in the Sales Comparison Grid#
Information previously entered for the subject property populates from the applicable section to the sales comparison grid and does not have to be re-entered.
- The "Origin of Subject Property Information" column in this chapter shows the original location of the information.
- Reference the original section for detailed definitions of the allowable answers.
There is other information that the appraiser must input directly into the sales comparison grid.
Fields that are Not Applicable in the Sales Comparison Grid#
If a specific field in the sales grid is not applicable for the subject or a given comparable, the cell is either grayed out or displays a dash (--).
Grayed Out Cells#
Information that is never applicable for the subject property or comparables is grayed out in the sales comparison grid.
Examples:
- Proximity to Subject, Same Builder as Subject, and Sale Date are not applicable for the subject property and are always grayed out.
- Same Builder as Subject is not adjustable, so the adjustment cell is always grayed out.


Cells Displaying a Dash#
Information that is not applicable for the appraisal displays a dash (--) in the sales comparison grid.
Examples:
- If there is no sales contract, or Sales Contract Analyzed is No, the following cells display a dash for the subject property to show that the information is not applicable.
- Contract Price (if the row is included in the sales comparison grid)
- Sales Concessions
- Contract Date

- If the subject is in a project and the comparable is not, the cell(s) display a dash to show that project information is not applicable for the comparable.
How Rows Display in the Sales Comparison Grid#
There are three ways that rows display in the sales comparison grid depending on characteristics of the subject and / or comparables.
- Rows that always display (e.g., Property Address, Year Built, and Attached/Detached), or
- Rows that conditionally display if applicable based on property characteristics (e.g., Project Information, Water Frontage, and ADU), or
- Rows that may display if relevant to support adjustments, analysis, and conclusions
Examples:
| Report Label | Row Always Displays | Row Displays if Applicable (Conditionally Displays) |
Row Displays if Relevant (May Display) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Year Built | √ | ||
| Quality (Interior) | √ | ||
| Condition (Interior) | √ | ||
| Hazard Zone | When the subject or any comparable is in a Hazard Zone | ||
| Project Name | Same Project as Subject | When the subject or any comparable is in a condo, co-op, or condop | ||
| Townhouse End Unit | √ | ||
| Cooling | √ |
For a full list, including whether the row is adjustable, see Appendix F-1: URAR Reference Guide Supplement - Summary of Rows in Comparable Grids.
General Guidance on Rows that May Display#
Some rows display on the sales comparison grid if relevant:
- To make an adjustment on a specific characteristic, or
- In support of an overall or rollup adjustment, or
- To report meaningful attributes, or
- To support conclusions, scope of work, or policy.
Notes:
- These rows must be brought into the sales comparison grid when there is relevant and meaningful information for the subject and all comparables, and adding the row leads to credible results. Not reporting a meaningful attribute can be misleading by omission.
- These rows are indicated in this chapter with the Report Label in blue italics, and "If relevant" in the "When Row Displays" column.
Additional Rows#
One or more additional rows may be added to the following relevant subsections to provide context and impactful details. These rows must only be used when atypical characteristics are observed. Do not add rows for information that is already available as a predefined row. Choose the applicable subsection for the characteristic.
- General Information
- Site
- Dwelling(s)
- Unit(s)
- Vehicle Storage
- Outbuilding
Adjustments#
Adjustments in the sales comparison grid fall into one of two categories:
- An overall or rollup adjustment that is supported by non-adjustable rows. Example:

- A line-item adjustment. Example:

For a full list of rows in the sales grid and whether each is adjustable, see Appendix F-1: URAR Reference Guide Supplement - Summary of Rows in Comparable Grids.
If a feature or characteristic of the subject property differs from a feature or characteristic of a comparable property and there is no market support for an adjustment, enter a $0 in the adjustment line. The zero indicates that the appraiser has considered the difference and determined that there is no measurable impact. This includes information that is not applicable ("grayed out") for the subject, such as Financing Type and Sale Date.

When the features for the subject and comparable sale(s) are the same and no adjustment is warranted, leave the field blank - do not enter or default to zero.

General Information#
The General Information subsection always displays on the sales comparison grid.
