A Note on the Optimal Selection and Weighting of Comparable Properties

Journal of Real Estate Research, 1997, vol. 14, issue 2, 175-182

Abstract: This paper reexamines the recommendation by Vandell (1991), Gau, Lai and Wang (1992, 1994) and Green (1994) for the use of the minimum variance and coefficient of variation criteria in the optimum selection of comparables. These authors underemphasize the typical valuation scenario that involves extremely small samples. The analyst must rank the few available comparable properties and select the “best” to carry the most weight in the final estimate of value. Rank transformation regression is suggested as one approach that can be used to extract the buying trend. The commonly taught paired-sale analysis will remain as the industry tool until more accurate estimates of value are developed with small samples.
