Abstract: This study documents the relationship between commercial property price and its marketing time. Findings indicate that extended marketing times induce lower transaction prices and that higher priced properties sell in relatively shorter marketing spans. These results are suggestive of a ‘‘shopworn’’ pricing effect and the existence of liquidity premiums in varying pricing segments of the market. Additionally, these results provide guidance to portfolio managers in the acquisition
and disposition of commercial properties.
