My real answer should have been, I take *ALL* datapoints that I can find
and turn them into a normalized valuation.  It is NOT a datapoint, but a
report on the current price as dictated by the market as a whole.  To say
that I'm "just one data point" entirely misses the point of what an
"appraisal" is.
