Abstract:
In support of an appraisal process, comparable properties are ranked using an algorithmic approach that considers multiple property characteristics of multiple properties to find and order the most similar properties to a subject property. In one implementation, a deterministic linear dissimilarity algorithm is used to compare multiple characteristics of multiple properties, relative to a subject property. An appraiser can also weight various characteristic categories to emphasize features the appraiser believes to be most important in the appraisal. The appraiser can therefore customize the weightings associated with such property characteristic categories to reflect local valuation relationships.
