Comparable properties (section 4 of the report)
7 comparables selected from the appraisal district's records and similarity-scored on physical characteristics and location; 3 are in the subject's own subdivision (marked *). Values shown are the district's published market values for tax year 2026.

Adjustment methodology (section 2 of the report)
- Time: not applied in this example — all comparable values reflect the same January 1, 2026 valuation date.
- Living area (GLA): $320/sq ft, derived from local market data.
- Lot: tiered per-sq-ft rates (smaller lots weighted higher).
- Bed / full bath / half bath: 1% / 1.5% / 0.75%.
Statistical outliers are excluded. Average net adjustment per comparable in this report: $96,704. The reconciliation is score-weighted — higher-similarity comparables contribute proportionally more to the supported value. The example rates above are from this real packet; rates are derived per market, not fixed constants.
The report is a software-generated market analysis based on public records and licensed real estate data. It is not an appraisal, is not USPAP-compliant, and no physical inspection is performed by a licensed appraiser.
