When the government attempts to acquire your property, you may feel a bit lost and scared about the process. The government is required to pay the fair market value of your home, but what exactly is considered fair market value? The attorneys at Lucé Law, PC are happy to explain how the value is calculated and the legal process on how to obtain your compensation.
What Is Fair Market Value?
Fair market value is the price a purchaser and seller would agree upon if the property were sold at that moment. For example, if a buyer was going to purchase your home on that exact day, what would be the reasonable price he or she would be willing to pay? That amount is the fair market value. Evidence of fair market value is required to prove that the estimated fair market value is accurate. Evidence includes an appraisal by a professional, home values of similar homes in the area, and other pertinent evidence that may be brought to establish fair market value.
