C) within range of the most recent 'asking' and 'sold' comparables in view of the seller's urgency and market conditions.

Explanation:

The sales comparison approach is the most common and accepted way of appraising a real estate property. You consider the value of similar options that were recently sold or listed in the market.

Even a regular person understands that the price of house is determined by the location of the house and the value of similar properties near that location.

Then the other aspect that must be considered is how fast does the seller needs to sell his property. If you are in a real hurry, e. g. to cover medical expenses, then you might need to ask for a lower price.
