CJI-Civ. 36:8
Sales of Comparable Properties
You have heard or seen evidence about market transactions involving properties
that may be comparable to the property being taken. Sales of comparable properties are
relevant evidence either to directly show the reasonable market value of the property being
taken or to establish the basis for an (appraiser’s) (expert’s) opinion of reasonable market
value. An (appraiser) (expert) may adjust a comparable sale to take into account various
differences between the comparable sale and the property being taken.
In determining the weight of such evidence, you may consider the time of the
comparable sale; the comparable property’s size, location, zoning, and condition; and any
and all other differences, facts, or circumstances.
An (appraiser) (expert) may use the comparable sales approach even if other
methods of valuation are available.
