Core concepts
Concept 1
Real estate markets are local, immobile, durable, and influenced by supply, demand, and financing.
Exam cue: Look for local market facts rather than national averages.
Concept 2
Market analysis compares property, location, competition, and buyer behavior.
Exam cue: Separate physical land scarcity from economic supply.

Memory anchors
Local Market
Real estate value is heavily influenced by local supply, demand, and location.
Immobility
Land cannot be moved, so location is a core market factor.
Uniqueness
Every parcel is legally and physically unique.
Supply
Real estate supply is slow to change because development takes time.
Demand
Demand reflects desire, ability, and willingness to buy or rent.
Market Analysis
Market analysis studies comparable property, competition, buyer behavior, and trends.
Checkpoint rule
Do the check-up only after you can summarize each concept in one sentence and identify one dangerous pitfall from memory.
