How does an opinion of marketing time relate to the appraiser's scope of work?
Correct Answer
A) It requires forward-looking analysis of the market
Why this is correct: An opinion of marketing time is a forward-looking estimate of how long it will take to sell the property at its appraised value after the effective date. It requires analyzing current and anticipated market conditions like inventory and absorption rates. Why the other choices are wrong: The choice that it follows automatically from exposure time is incorrect; exposure time is a backward-looking concept about the time prior to a sale. The choice that it is supplied by the listing agent is wrong; it is the appraiser's independent opinion. The choice that it requires no analysis beyond the value opinion is false; it is a separate, supported analysis. Exam tip: Marketing time = future projection. Exposure time = historical estimate.
