Fair Market Value
The price that a given property or asset would fetch in
the marketplace, subject to the following conditions:
1. Prospective buyers and sellers are reasonably
knowledgeable about the asset; they are behaving in
their own best interests and are free of undue pressure
to trade.
2. A reasonable time period is given for the transaction
to be completed.
Given these conditions, an asset's fair market value
should represent an accurate valuation or assessment
of its worth.
