    Current market value is what your appraiser and realtor says its worth. Fair market value is what its really worth.

    Current Fair Market Value

  • 1 decade ago

    The terms are basically interchangeable. The "market value" of a property is determined by what a buyer and seller agree the property is worth on the open market based on its size, location, development, etc. when neither party is under duress. If you are looking at documentation that lists these two terms for same property with different values, I would guess the source is considering duress (or supply/demand) is a factor.

    Current market value means now.

    Fair market value means as of whenever it is stated, like "Fair market value as of June, 2006." The word "fair" is unneccessary.

    These are terms with the same meaning, used interchangeably.

    What it doesn't mean is tax appraised value, appraisal value, tax assessed value, etc..

    They are the same thing...it's what someone will willingly pay in an open market.
