The “Value Change” column shows the dollar amount added or subtracted for each basic fact you have adjusted. These values will not show in your RPR reports.

If a field is empty or shows a value of zero, entering data will not change the value because there is no baseline available to refine.

Sometimes changing a basic fact will decrease the value. For instance, adding a bedroom without increasing the sq footage may be seen as a negative by the system, in turn decreasing the estimated value.

Not the outcome that you expected? You can override the “Value change from basic facts” and show your adjusted value in your reports.

Click on the downward arrow to open the first drop-down menu. Select an improvement from the list or click Other to add your own custom improvement. If you selected Other, enter a description in the box that appears.

Click the downward arrows in the 2nd and 3rd drop-down menus to select a month and year that the home improvement was completed.

Select the downward arrow in the last drop-down menu and enter the cost of the home improvement.

Enter a needed improvement in the 1st field.

The total cost that you entered will be deducted from the estimated value.
