Adjusting Comps

[Robert Butler]

I need some advice.  I evaluated a deal that confused me a little bit.  From my understanding, when adjusting square footage on comps, you adjust the value of the comp up if the comp has less sq ft than the subject and downward if the comp has more sq ft than the subject property.

What if the comps are less sq ft than the subject property, but the value of the comps sq ft is more than the subject property.  Wouldn't that skew the numbers?  

Any advice would be appreciated.
