Appraisers here use past 6 months sales, I go with that.

Recently sold in my opinion means within a 30 to 60 day history. It is important to know the market trends and what price ranges are selling. I use comparative sales for the last six months sold.
Hopefully this helps.

It depends on the market. Recently can be 1-3 months if the values are dropping fast or going up in value in a good market.
If the market is more stable as it was back in 2002-2003 you could use up to 6 months as recently.
Also, some areas are even slower than that and you may have to use comps from a year or longer. (this is more for rural areas were few homes sell)
I don't know if this answers your question....
