Value (economics), in economics, the worth of a commodity or service measured against other commodities or services. The term generally refers to the total money revenue, or price, for which an item will sell. The value of any object in the marketplace is determined by desirability and scarcity. Anything that is both desirable and scarce, such as a diamond, can command power in the exchange ratiothat is, it can be exchanged for an item of equal or greater worth. A distinction is usually made between market value and normal, or natural, value. Market value is the purchasing power of a commodity in the open market on a given day; normal value is the value that would prevail if competitive forces worked without friction. Market value may also be referred to as the exchange price of a commodity, and natural value as the just price.

So market value is based on the open market, not on something that is off the maket. If I have a house that I bought in 2000 for 500k and I, as a seller, can expect to get 750K for it now, the market value is 750K. If Pearl is currently uder contract for 1.7 million, but can expect to get 3 million (which he could have), then his market value is probably in the range of 2.3 to 2.7 million, given that the one buyer was desperate. But his value to TENNESSEE may be different.
That was some serious mental gymnastics to accomplish nothing.
