For the purposes of this assignment. our definition of value conforms to and reflects all assumption
of the Market Value Definition as established in 12 C.F.R. Part 323.2f:
Market Value is defined as the most probable price which a property should bring in
a competitive and open market under all conditions requisite to a fir sale. the buyer
and seller each acting prudently and 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:
(1) Buyer and seller are typically motivated;
(2) Both parties are well informed or well advised, and acting in what they
consider their own best interests;
(3) A reasonable time is allowed for exposure in the open market;
(4) Payment is made in terms of cash in U.S. dollars, or in terms of financial
