Sales Comparison Approach

Valuing a home by comparing it to recent sales of similar properties — the basis of most appeals.

The sales comparison approach estimates value directly from recent arm’s-length sales of similar properties, adjusting for differences in size, condition, and features. It’s the dominant method for residential property.

It’s also the homeowner’s best friend: because it’s exactly how assessors value most homes, presenting your own well-matched comps meets the county on its own terms.
