The subject property should be valued at $760,000

Explanation:

Sales comparison approach to valuation in real estate values properties by comparing their similar characteristics, and the features are priced. The total value of a property is thus the addition of all features.

In the instance given, both properties have 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms and so using comparison theses features are equally priced at $690,000.

So the property with the golf course will have $690,000 added to the value of the golf course ($70,000).

That is $760,000.
