GRADE ADJUSTMENT

Suggested entries for adjustment are:

• 0.90 below average for grade
  
• 1.00 average for grade (no entry for adjustment required)
  
• 1.10 above average for grade

For example a Grade "C" house is 10% better quality than the average Grade "C" house. The recorded Grade Adjustment would be 1.10.
