Below are the Industry Standard definitions of the most common types of Market Values:

Fair Market Value - The estimated amount, expressed in terms of money, that may reasonably be expected for a property in an exchange between a willing buyer and a willing seller, with equity to both, neither under any compulsion to buy or sell, and both fully aware of all relevant facts as of a specific date.

Fair Market Value – Removal - The estimated amount, expressed in terms of money, that may reasonably be expected for an item of property in an exchange between a willing buyer and a willing seller, with equity to both, neither under any compulsion to buy or sell, and both fully aware of all relevant facts, considering removal of the property to another location, as of a specific date.

Fair Market Value – In Continued Use - The estimated amount, expressed in terms of money, that may reasonably be expected for a property in an exchange between a willing buyer and a willing seller, with equity to both, neither under any compulsion to buy or sell, and both fully aware of all relevant facts, including installation, as of a specific date, assuming that the business earnings support the value reported. This amount includes all normal, direct, and indirect costs, such as installation and other assemblage costs necessary to make the property fully operational.

Fair Market Value – Installed - The estimated amount, expressed in terms of money, that may reasonably be expected for an installed property in an exchange between a willing buyer and a willing seller, with equity to both, neither under any compulsion to buy or sell, and both fully aware of all relevant facts, including installation, as of a specific date. This amount includes all normal, direct, and indirect costs, such as installation and other assemblage costs necessary to make the property fully operational.


Orderly Liquidation Value - The estimated gross amount, expressed in terms of money, that could typically be realized from a liquidation sale, given a reasonable period of time to find a purchaser (or purchasers), with the seller being compelled to sell on an as-is, where-is basis, as of a specific date.

Forced Liquidation Value - The estimated gross amount, expressed in terms of money, that could typically be realized from a properly advertised and conducted public auction, with the seller being compelled to sell with a sense of immediacy on an as-is, where-is basis, as of a specific date.

Liquidation Value In Place - The estimated gross amount, expressed in terms of money that could typically be realized from a failed facility assuming that the entire facility would be sold intact with a limited time to complete the sale, as of a specific date
