How to Do a Market Value Report
A market value report details the price that a particular asset is worth in the market. Most market value reports look at things like real estate and stocks. For stocks, the market value is the price quoted on an exchange such as the New York Stock Exchange. For real estate, market value is the price at which a home is estimated to be worth, based on things such as local market prices and economy, the price at which the home was purchased, and improvements made to the property.
