What Property Value Really Means

Property value is not a single fixed number. It is an estimate of what a buyer will likely pay for a property in a specific market at a specific time. That estimate changes based on location, condition, size, features, demand, comparable sales, and broader economic forces.

This lesson explains the core meaning of property value, how it differs from price and cost, and why two people can look at the same property and assign different values. It also introduces the idea that value is evidence-based, not just opinion-based.
