USPAP itself does not contain a citable definition of market value. It describes market value instead. USPAP does require certain items to be included in every appraisal report. These are:. While above requirements include non-cash equivalent financing terms within the scope of the market value of appraised property rights, such rights are valued in relation to cash.
Increments or diminutions in market value attributable to financing terms are measured against an all cash standard, and the dollar amount of variance from the cash standard must be reported. State and Federal Law contain varied market value definitions. The following definition is used by agencies that regulate federally insured financial institutions in the United States:. 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:.
The definition of market value used by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac includes additional discussion of financing and sales concessions:. Adjustments to the comparable must be made for special financing or sales concessions. No adjustments are necessary for those costs which are normally paid by sellers as a result of tradition or law in a market area; these costs of readily identifiable since the seller pays these costs in virtually all sales transactions.
Adjustments for special or creative financing can be made by comparing the financing terms of the comparable property to the financing terms offered by third-party institutional lender that is not already involved in the property or transaction.
Special financing or sales concessions often characterize transactions in depressed markets. While appraisals of the market value are the most common, appraisal clients needs regularly require appraisers to develop value opinions of other types of value.
Fair Value: Traditionally the accounting profession has used the depreciated purchase price for reporting the value of corporate assets for tax purposes and for use in financial statements. In , FASB defined fair value as:. Market participants are buyers and sellers in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability that are:.
The fair value of the asset or liability should be determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.
A fair value measurement assumes the highest and best use of the asset by market participants, considering the use of the asset that is physically possible, legally permissible, and financially feasible at the measurement date. The highest and best use of the asset establishes the valuation premise used to measure the fair value of the asset, specifically:.
Appraisers may have to report both values so that the user of the report can make an informed decision. This should be addressed within the Scope of Work decision, and appropriate section of the appraisal report.
The International Valuation Standards point out that fair value and market value are not necessarily synonymous in the International Financial Reporting Standards, where market value is used in differing contexts. Use Value is the value a specific property has for a specific use.
Real property has both a use value and a market value, which may or may not be the same or different depending on the property and the market. Section A of the Internal Revenue Code IRC permits the taxpayer to elect to value certain farm and closely held business real property at its farm or business use value rather than its fair market value FMV. Investment Value is the value of a specific property to a particular investor.
The primary difference between market value and investment value is that for investment value, the value is to a specific individual and not necessarily that found in the marketplace.
Business Value or Going-Concern Value applies to an an established and operating business with an indefinite future life. For certain types of properties such as hotels, motels, restaurants, bowling alleys, manufacturing enterprises, athletic clubs, land fills, hospitals and skilled nursing or other special care facilities, the physical real estate assets are an integral part of an ongoing business.
The market value of such properties including all tangible and intangible assets of the going concern is commonly referred to by laymen as business value or business enterprise value. This is incorrect. It is the market value of the going concern including real property, personal property, and the intangible assets of the business.
The going concern includes tangible property in the form of real property and personal property interests, and intangible property such as reputation; work force in place, contracts, copyrights, patents, trademarks, other assets, residual income, and goodwill. It is often difficult, or not even possible to separate the market value of the land and physical improvements from the total value of the business. When it is not feasible to separate the market value of the real estate from the business value it is considered appropriate that a statement to that effect be made, and a statement that the reported opinion of value includes both market value and business value, and that the appraiser has not been able to distinguish between them.
Special expertise is required to perform these types of assignment. The appraiser-sponsor of this web site has such expertise and experience. Public Interest Value is a general term covering a variety of value concepts that relate the perceived highest and best use of a property to non economic uses. Public interest value is driven by social, political, and public policy goals. It is not based on economic principles. Public interest is based on non economic highest and best use.
Public interest value is also referred to as natural value, intrinsic value, aesthetic value, scenic value, preservation value, and similar non economic based terms.
The concept of public interest value has important potential application when it is defined and applied in public benefit terms. This value is among one of the currently hotly debated topics in appraisal circles and legislative efforts by those supporters who contend that redefining highest and best use to include non economic benefits to recognize conservation and preservation.
Opponents contend that because non economic uses are not responsive to market forces, such uses cannot give rise to market value, the basis of which can only be economic highest and best use.
A perceived characteristic of public use is that it will always be higher than market value or fair market value , not constrained to follow market economic rules. This last perception gives rise to many, if not most of the conservation easement donations contested by the IRS.
A current audit underway as of April, involves a large anonymous Southern California land developer who donated hundreds of acres for preservation of open space. The disputed amount if the deduction is disallowed approximates half a billion dollars! With penalties, this could amount to nearly three quarters of a billion dollars.
This is just one of many such cases across the country. A point to consider; When designated appraisers face off against each other in court, fully half of them are going to to lose!
Better to shop for appraisers that know and understand the approaches and techniques the IRS will take in contesting nearly all similar donations. The issue of conservation easements is a national priority among Senior IRS Territory Managers, and senior executives. Highly competent appraisal services in this category are not inexpensive.
Neither are the penalties and interest assessed to the taxpayers arising from faulty valuations. Assessed Value applies in ad valorem at value taxation and refers to the value of the property according to the tax rolls.
Assessed value may not conform to market value, though it is usually calculated in relation to a market value base.
