Understand that the market data approach estimates the value of a house by comparing it to similar properties that have recently sold in the same area.
Identify the key characteristic that allows for a standardized comparison across different houses, which is necessary because houses vary in size and features.
Recognize that the 'unit of comparison' is a common metric used to normalize prices, making it easier to compare houses of different sizes and attributes.
