Marketability Study
A process that investigates how a particular piece of property will be absorbed, sold, or leased under
current or anticipated market conditions; includes a market study or analysis of the general class of
property being studied. A marketability study can also be a macroeconomic study that examines the
marketability of a given property or class of properties, usually focusing on the market segment( s) in
which the property is likely to generate demand. Marketability studies are useful in determining a specific
highest and best use, testing development proposals, and projecting an appropriate tenant mix.
