A claim of price moderation should be tested against comparable completed transactions. Different property mixes or asking-price changes may tell a different story.
Check comparability
Review location, type, size, condition and dates. Distinguish an advertised reduction from the price at which a transaction completed. Explain any material differences in the comparison.
Apply the finding narrowly
Use the evidence to assess the target, with costs and intended use considered separately. Avoid projecting one segment's movement across every district. A market description should retain the limits of the underlying information.
