Answer 1

Answer:

b) The property sells in 90 to 120 days

This is not a condition required to define market value.

It state a reasonable time, but does not specifies any duration.

Explanation:

The law indicates 5 conditions to determinate the market value, which is the most probable price which a property can be traded:

(1)  Buyer and seller are typically motivated; (is listed as a)

This means seller want to sale at high as possible, buyer purchase as lowest as possible, they are not colluding, they are motivated to do the transaction in their best interest

(2)  Both parties are well informed or well advised, and acting in what they consider their own best interests; (listed as d)

Both parties know the market, they know the characteristics of the real state.

(3)  A reasonable time is allowed for exposure in the open market;

Notice the diference with option b. Which is giving an specific duration. Opcion C is not correct.

(4)  Payment is made in terms of cash in U.S. dollars or in terms of financial arrangements comparable thereto; and (option c)

The property is being trade for cahs or cash equivalent.

(5)  The price represents the normal consideration for the property sold unaffected by special or creative financing or sales concessions granted by anyone associated with the sale.

The transaction only involves the sale, there is isn't any hidden transaction behind
