The price for a property in a fair and competitive market
The sale price of your home is a true value if it is freely available on the open market. This means that all potential buyers know that a home is up for sale and have an equal opportunity to bid for it. Even if you sell your home for less than you would have liked, this price is still fair and square.
The price of a home sold in court actions, such as a foreclosure or bankruptcy is not the fair market value.
