Yeah, I thought I already put this issue to rest
the last time I posted a
long diatribe about it. You'd think people would listen to an expert ;)
Like eBay, you're just one data point. :-)
But unlike eBay, I don't inflate values ;)
My real answer should have been, I take *ALL* datapoints that I can find
and turn them into a normalized valuation. It is NOT a datapoint, but a
report on the current price as dictated by the market as a whole. To say
that I'm "just one data point" entirely misses the point of what an
"appraisal" is.
