Definition of Market Value
Market value is the most probable price that a property should bring in a competitive and open market under all conditions requisite to a fair sale, the buyer and seller, each acting prudently, knowledgeably and assuming the price is not affected by undue stimulus. Implicit in this definition is the consummation of a sale as of a specified date and the passing of title from seller to buyer under conditions whereby:
-
buyer and seller are typically motivated;
-
both parties are well informed or well advised, and each acting in what they consider to be in their own best interest;
-
a reasonable time is allowed for exposure in the open market;
-
payment is made in terms of cash in U.S. dollars or in terms of financial arrangements comparable thereto; and
-
the price represents the normal consideration for the property sold unaffected by special or creative financing or sales concessions granted by anyone associated with the sale.
