Market Value is the current price an asset can fetch in an open market under fair
conditions.
It is widely used in property transactions, loans, insurance, taxation, and
investments.
In India, market value of property is determined by the State Government's guideline
value (circle rate/ready reckoner value) or by valuation reports from certified
valuers.
- In simple words: Market Value = the fair value at which a willing buyer
and a willing seller agree to transact, without pressure.
