Obviously because the lots are smaller which lowers the FAR rules and can affects other areas of the property- like bedroom size.

Harvey,There are a variety of factors at play, region will play a factor, age of property will play a factor, diminishing returns plays a factor (for instance going from 2nd to 3rd bedroom will be more valuable then 3rd going to 4th) To me the key to to a CMA is get as close of comp as you can when it comes to these factors (square footage, bedrooms, bathrooms, age, size of garage, size of yard) Once you start diverting too far it become a bit more of an art then a science.

Price will depend on size but $1,500 seems steep to me and while appraisal turn times are extending right now, 2 months is still excessive. 

The best deal you're going to get on replacement windows of that size will come from them.

Start by talking to them and explain that even with the warning, things are not improving and then serve them with notice to cure.
