5. The subject property is a new gas station and convenience mart on a ¾ acre site. Three small frame houses were razed to create the current site. A sale verified for comparison is also ¾ of an acre and is one block away. This site sold one month ago for $375,000. The comparable sale was once improved with a gas station that was razed two years ago. In the early 1980's, the original underground newer tanks were found to be leaking and were replaced with modern tanks that did not leak. The newer tanks were removed two years ago, but no soil remediation was performed . The buyer was aware of this history prior to consummating the sale. The cost to remove the tanks today is $40,000. What is the value of the subject site?
a. Less than $335,000
b. $335,000
c. $375,000
d. Greater than $375,000
