Marketability Studies: The Six-Step Process & Basic Applications

Description

Marketability Studies: The Six-Step Process and Basic Applications will help you understand the fundamentals of market analysis while taking you, step-by-step, through two real-world case studies. You’ll leave this seminar with practical exposure to and new insights about basic market analysis whether you are a newer or more experienced practitioner!  Use this seminar as either a refresher or an introduction to the Appraisal Institute course General Appraiser Market Analysis and Highest & Best Use. The seminar also serves as an excellent prelude to the counterpart seminar, Marketability Studies: Advanced Considerations and Applications
 

In this program, you’ll cover structured market analysis while applying the six-step process on two non-complex appraisal assignments. Although the process itself is not advanced, it lays the foundation necessary to apply advanced techniques. Most appraisal assignments can be handled using the process and techniques demonstrated in this seminar. The two examples in this program can serve as guides for use in an appraiser’s practice.
