Which of these is NOT a qualitative term, that might appear in an appraisal report?

• A. Qualitative term
• B. Quantitative term
• C. They are all qualitative terms
• D. Estimation term

Answer: (C)

In appraisal writing, language falls into qualitative (describing quality or condition without numbers) and quantitative (with numeric data). A term you’d actually see describing a property would be something like “excellent condition” or “updated kitchen” (qualitative), or a numeric figure like “1,800 square feet” (quantitative). The option that is NOT a qualitative term you’d find in a report is the statement “They are all qualitative terms” because it’s not a descriptive label about a property or its attributes; it’s a meta-comment about the types of terms, not a term used to describe the property itself. So this meta-phrase wouldn’t appear as a qualitative term in an appraisal report, making it the correct choice.
