Matched Pair Report (print topic)

The Paired Sales Report Editor allows you to document pairs of sales for supporting an adjustment. It arranges each pair of sales side by side so you can better identify the similarities and differences between the sales. The report allows you to record notes and comments about each sale pair, and record the reasoning supporting your conclusions. You can save your report in for later editing or to generate a PDF summary of your analysis to include in your workfile or report.

Controls for the editor appear on the panels to either side and along the bottom. The left hand panel controls navigation among the pairings found, their layout, and provides input / output functionality.

The bottom panel contains information about the pairing shown.

The right hand panel controls the automatic reporting template, and the overall summary of the search.

Left Side Controls

Pair # identifies which pairing of sales you are analyzing. Changing the number by either using the up/down arrows or typing in a number will automatically switch you to that pair of sales.

Display Options affect the layout of the grid under the pictures. The 3 options include:

1. Show All rows (shown in the image above). This presents all of the information from the grid.
   Cell entries that are identical appear under both sales.

2. Hide equal rows removes all rows with exactly the same entries.
   This shortens the display so you can focus on all of the remaining differences between the sales, allowing you to assess the significance of any differences. For the two sales shown, the only fields with unique values are Financing, Date, Rms_Br_Ba, GLA, Bsmt, and Porch. This option shortens the table as shown to:

3. Merge equal rows merges cells containing equal data and display them.
   This displays all data but provides a visual cue as to which fields contain identical information.
