What factor is addressed by location adjustments?

• A. Where the property is located
• B. Financing terms
• C. Age of the roof
• D. Zoning changes

Answer: (A)

Location adjustments reflect how the property’s place in its neighborhood and market area affects value. Buyers care about factors tied to the site itself—proximity to schools, amenities, crime, noise, views, and overall neighborhood desirability—so when you compare a subject property to similar sales, you adjust the sale price of those comparables to account for whether the subject is in a more or less desirable location. Financing terms are a separate consideration and would be adjusted differently, not tied to location. The age of the roof relates to physical condition, and zoning changes pertain to regulatory use rather than the site’s location. So, the factor addressed by location adjustments is where the property is located.
