The fair market value (FMV) is the value of property as determined by the marketplace (or objective purchasers) rather than as determined by a subjective individual. This is what an informed and unpressured buyer would pay to an informed, unpressured seller in an arm's length transaction (the price is based solely on the value of the property, as opposed to if you were selling the property to a family member and giving them a special deal).
In the United States v. Cartwright, 411 US 546, fair market value(FMV) is defined as “the price at which the property would change hands between a willing buyer and a willing seller, neither being under any compulsion to buy or to sell and both having reasonable knowledge of relevant facts." The FMV is used in many laws and regulations, like the Internal Revenue Codeand bankruptcy law. In the U.S., the FMV is commonly determined by the judge in a hearing, yetin some jurisdictions, the courts are required to hold fair market hearings though the two parties waived their rights to such a hearing. In Canada, according tothe Canada Revenue Agency, the FMV means “the highest price” of the subject matter.
You can find the actual value of your car by going to a library or bookstore and referring to a Kelley Blue Book. Or, you can find similar vehicles that are being sold in your area (within 50 miles of your zip code) with local auto trade magazines, or online.
Fair market value is the price a business, property or other asset would sell for in an open and competitive market where the buyer and seller have adequate information of relevant facts, a reasonable time to complete a deal, are under no compulsion, are acting in their own interests and mutually agree on the price.
No. A home's appraised value is the opinion of a licensed, objective appraiser. This professional assessment is typically used by the buyer's mortgage lender as a kind of safety precaution, to make sure that the home is worth the loan amount. Appraised values are often lower than fair market values.

As a simple example, if you're selling a used car, the highest bid received from a buyer is the fair market value (FMV), as long as the two aforementioned criteria are sufficiently met.
The fair value of an item is based only on its intrinsic worth, while the market value is based on supply and demand. If the fair value of a tablet is $200, but market supply is high, the cost of the tablet may fall to a lower price.
FMV is the price that property would sell for on the open market. It is the price that would be agreed on between a willing buyer and a will- ing seller, with neither being required to act, and both having reasonable knowledge of the rele- vant facts.
The fair value of an asset or security is often determined by the market, at a price agreed upon by a willing buyer and seller. This can be determined by the forces of supply and demand, by a valuation model, or several other methods, depending on the particular asset or security involved.
Market value of equity is the same as market capitalization and both are calculated by multiplying the total shares outstanding by the current price per share.
