Real Estate Word of the Day – Abnormal Sale

Real Estate Word of the Day

Abnormal Sale – An abnormal sale is one that does not represent a typical real estate transaction.  It may be the result of a parent selling to a child or sibling or it perhaps it reflects the terms of the owner’s will.

Example:  A real estate appraiser discovers the sale of a house for $200,000 in a neighborhood where the normal price is $300,000.  The appraiser does not use it as a comparable because the conditions requisite for market value were not present in this abnormal sale.*
