Which of these is NOT another name for the paired sales technique?

• A. Paired regression analysis
• B. Paired sales comparison
• C. Regression analysis using paired data
• D. Comparative pairing method

Answer: (A)

The paired sales technique is about comparing two similar properties that differ mainly by one attribute to isolate that attribute’s effect on value. This method is commonly described as the paired sales comparison or the comparative pairing method, because you’re directly pairing two sales to see how differences impact price.

Paired regression analysis, while it involves analyzing paired data, is a distinct statistical approach that applies a regression model to paired observations. It’s not the standard label for the paired sales technique itself, so it’s not considered another name for this method. Hence, paired regression analysis is the one that isn’t another name for the technique.
