Explanation
A real estate market analysis studies the broader market (absorption rates, price trends, supply/demand dynamics, competitive properties) to provide context for property valuation or investment decisions. While an appraisal produces a point-in-time value opinion for a specific property, a market analysis provides macro-level insight used in planning, feasibility studies, and investment strategy.
