Concerning the definition of a "market," regardless of whether it is regional, municipal, local, neighborhood, etc., with regard to the relative as well as the absolute status of the subject property of each residential appraisal assignment:
I'm suddenly struck with the realization that all of the data used to describe markets is based on properties marketed for sale . . . without ever having wondered whether those properties--especially the critical "condition" factor--reflect the true population of housing stock in a market.
Realizing that the question might tarnish my little remaining credibility, I ask the Forum for its thoughts.
