Summary of the Basis for Just Compensation (Coutinued) <br />Sales Comparison Approach: (Continued) <br />A Relative Comparison Analysis (RCA) has been conducted between the individual comparable <br />properties and the subject property. The RCA is a qualitative technique for analyzing comparable sales, <br />and is a valuable tool employed to illustrate whether the characteristics of a comparable property are <br />inferior, superior, or similar to those of the property under appraisement. <br />The Relative Comparison Analysis is similar to paired data analysis without the use of arbitrary or <br />unsupportable quantitative adjustments. This technique acknowledges the imperfect nature of the subject <br />real estate market. The primary objective is to bracket the subject property between the comparable sales <br />with respect to the similarity, superiority, and inferiority thereof. Superior elements of comparability of <br />an individual sale property would reflect a downward adjustment to the value indication thereof. <br />Conversely, inferior elements suggest an upward adjustment. <br />Additionally, it is important to note that the above elements of comparability were not assigned equal <br />weight in making the analysis of each property. The general location, immediate environmental <br />influences, land size, building size and features, building age/condition, as well as site <br />prominence/exposure were considered the most important factors in the subject case. <br />Overall marketability of each sale property was also considered. Marketability is the practical aspect of <br />selling a property in view of all the elements constituting value, and certain economic and financing <br />conditions prevailing as of the date of sale. Allowance was made for these factors when considered <br />applicable. <br />Another important factor considered in analyzing the overall purchase price per square foot of building <br />area is that of the land building area ratio. The sale properties have ratios ranging between 6.56:1 and <br />12.59:1. The subject property has a ratio of 8.51:1. <br />All of the sale transactions employed herein were considered helpful in the valuation analysis of the <br />subject property. Following is a summary relating the overall comparability of the individual sale <br />properties to the subject site: <br />Based on the foregoing, the value of the subject property, as indicated by the Sales Comparison <br />Approach, is estimated at $1,100,000, which reflects $99.40 per square foot of land area, and $846.15 <br />per square foot of building area. <br />75M-29 <br />Overall <br />Data <br />Comparability <br />Sale Price <br />4 <br />inferior <br />$ 865,000. <br />2 <br />slightly inferior <br />$ 975,000. <br />3 <br />similar <br />$1,000,000. <br />Subject <br />- - - - <br />$1,100,000. <br />1 <br />similar <br />$1,200,000. <br />5 <br />superior <br />$1,232,500. <br />Based on the foregoing, the value of the subject property, as indicated by the Sales Comparison <br />Approach, is estimated at $1,100,000, which reflects $99.40 per square foot of land area, and $846.15 <br />per square foot of building area. <br />75M-29 <br />
