An appraiser concludes an exposure time of nine months where the market typically takes three. What does this imply?
Correct Answer
A) The value opinion is likely above the market
Why this is correct: Exposure time and value are inversely related. A longer-than-typical exposure time (9 vs. 3 months) suggests the concluded value is higher than what the property would likely sell for in the normal market period. This inconsistency signals the value opinion may be above market. Why the other choices are wrong: The property must be withdrawn from the market is not a necessary implication. The value opinion should be reported as a range is not required by this fact alone. The exposure opinion has no bearing on value is false; they are directly related. Exam tip: An unusually long exposure time is a red flag that your value conclusion may be too high.
