Price is best described as

• B. the appraised value of the property
• C. the monthly payment amount
• D. the listing price provided by the seller's agent

Answer: (A)

Price is the amount of money the buyer and seller agree to exchange to complete the sale. It’s the negotiated consideration stated in the contract and serves as the basis for the transaction. This differs from appraised value, which is an independent estimate of market value used for financing and market understanding but not necessarily the amount agreed between the parties. It also isn’t the monthly payment, which is the ongoing financing cost over time, including principal, interest, taxes, and insurance. And it isn’t the listing price, the seller’s initial asking price, which may be adjusted through negotiation to the final agreed-upon price.
