Question

John’s home is up for sale. He originally bought it five years ago for $300,000. Its current value is $350,000. His real estate agent notified him that a buyer just made an offer on his home for $365,000, which is the price other similar homes in the neighborhood are selling for and John accepts. What does the price of $365,000 represent?

Answer 1

Answer:

Market value

Explanation:

The market value of a product is the price at which a buyer is willing to purchase a good irrespective of prevalent price of a commodity. It is that amount a buyer and seller are willing to strike a deal for given normal market conditions.

In this scenario John originally bought his five years ago for $300,000. Its current value is $350,000. His real estate agent notified him that a buyer just made an offer on his home for $365,000.

Despite the house now being $350,000, $365,000 is the market price at which the buyer and seller are willing to settle.
