SUMMARY
24
This chapter stressed that an appraisal is simply an opinion of value.
Value generally means the worth or usefulness of something to someone for some purpose.
Although there are many types of value, the purpose of most appraisals is to form an opinion of market value, or the price at which something should sell.
