As of version 2.5, Appraise-It Pro replaces the old single-line car storage adjustment with a new multi-line car storage adjustment and expanded support for UAD format.
The multi-line adjustment allows you to specify different values for the first car storage space and each additional car storage space, since the initial space is generally more valuable.
For example, a single carport might cost $4,000 whereas a double carport might cost $5,250 and a triple might cost $6,500. If the subject has a double carport and a comp has a single, Appraise-It Pro will account for the first space's greater value:
First space: (1 − 1) × $4,000 = $0
Additional spaces: (1 − 0) × $1,250 = $1,250
Total: $0 + $1,250 = $1,250
If the comp doesn't have a carport at all, the adjustment is for the full value of the subject's first space and additional space:
First space: (1 − 0) × $4,000 = $4,000
Additional spaces: (1 − 0) × $1,250 = $1,250
Total: $4,000 + $1,250 = $5,250
UAD Reports
The car storage automatic adjustments in UAD reports is much more robust, leveraging the standardized car storage field format to allow adjusting for each type of car storage independently:
The individual car storage adjustments are calculated separately, then totaled into a single adjustment and inserted into the comp grid, much like how separate full bath and partial bath adjustments are calculated separately then combined into a single bathroom adjustment in the grid.
