The ease with which a property can be conveyed to another describes which value-influencing factor?

• A. Demand
• B. Utility
• C. Transferability
• D. Scarcity

Answer: (C)

Transferability is the factor that describes how easily ownership can be conveyed from one party to another. When transferability is high, there are few barriers to transfer, such as clear title, straightforward ownership, and minimal legal or encumbrance complications, which makes the property more marketable and can support a smoother, quicker sale and often a more confident price realization. Demand relates to how much buyers want the property at a given price, utility to usability or satisfaction the property provides, and scarcity to the limited supply of similar properties. These affect value, but not the ease of transferring title itself.
