Similar Properties
|
|
This tool will find similar property sales for a selected subject property.
To enable this tool, a subject parcel must be highlighted.
The search options on this form are initialized from subject property information.
You may change these values to refine the similar property search.
The distance criteria is the distance from the subject property to the similar property sale.
The property use code is very important because it allows the search engine to find similar of the same type of property.
(commercial, residential, vacant lots, etc.)
Use the criteria weightings which range from 1 to 5 to control the search results.
Setting the weight of a criteria to a 5 will make that criteria 5 times more important than a criteria with a weight of 1.
For example, for a large timber tract, you should set the weighting for Size of Parcel to 5.
If you set the weighting to zero or leave the criteria blank, then that criteria will not be used in the search.
The results page includes average sales price, average price per square foot or acre, and an estimate of the property value.
