How does marketing time differ from exposure time?
Correct Answer
A) Marketing time looks forward from the effective date
Why this is correct: Marketing time is a forward-looking estimate of how long it would take to sell the property at its appraised value starting from the effective date. Exposure time is the analogous backward-looking period. The key difference is direction. Why the other choices are wrong: Marketing time is not required in every appraisal report; its inclusion depends on the assignment. Marketing time is not measured exclusively in months and exposure time in days; both can use any time unit. Marketing time applies to all property types, not only commercial. Exam tip: Remember: exposure time is backward; marketing time is forward.
