Paired Sales (print topic)

When this form opens, only the Field selector and Tolerance… button are enabled. To find the sales that may be suitable for extracting an adjustment, select the field, the two values and click the Find pairs button. You can either use the mouse to open the list and select a value, or start typing to auto select a value.

Field selector lists fields that are useful for adjustment extraction via paired sales.

Value 1, Value 2: The 2 different values to base the extraction on.

Tolerances…: Open the Tolerance Editor to set aliases and tolerances for seeking matched pairs.

Find pairs: Run search to find pairings of sales that might be useful for analysis.

EXAMPLE: Looking to find matched pairs for the difference between 3 bedroom and 4 bedroom properties.

1. Select the field from the Field selector. For this example, select the Beds field. The Value 1 selector enables once it is loaded with all of the values found in the dataset for Beds.

2. Set Value 1 selector to one of the value ratings you’re comparing. For this example, the Value 1 selector can be set to either 3 or 4. This loads the remaining available values into the Value 2 selector and enables it. The status bar at the bottom of the form will display how many sales were found that have that value in that field.

3. Set Value 2 selector to the other value rating you’re comparing. For this example, the Value 2 selector would be set to either 4 or 3 (whichever didn’t appear in Value 1). Once both value selectors are set, the Find pairs button will enable. The status bar at the bottom of the form will display how many sales were found that have that value in that field.

4. Click the Find pairs button. The status bar at the bottom of the form will display the progress of the analysis. If sale pairs are identified, the Paired Sales Report Editor will load them and open automatically.
