appraised value

Estimated market price

Appraised value is the estimated worth of property as determined by a professional appraiser.

The term appears most often in real estate and insurance contexts: The appraised value came in lower than the asking price.

Banks use appraised values to determine how much they'll lend on a mortgage.

Unlike market value, which reflects what buyers actually pay, appraised value is one expert's formal assessment based on comparable sales, condition, and other factors.
