Exposure time is best described as which period?
Correct Answer
D) The time the property would have been on the market
Why this is correct: Exposure time is the estimated time period prior to the effective date that would have been required to sell the property at its appraised value, assuming a competitive market. It is a retrospective opinion based on market evidence. Why the other choices are wrong: The time a property will take to sell after the date is marketing time, not exposure time. The time allowed for the client to review a report is unrelated. The period during which the report stays reliable is the report's shelf-life, not exposure time. Exam tip: Exposure time looks backward; marketing time looks forward.
