market rate

Current fair value

Market rate is the prevailing price for a good, service, or financial instrument as determined by supply and demand.

Landlords charge market rate for apartments; employers pay market rate for talent.

The term implies a going price that exists independent of any particular transaction: We're offering market rate for the position.

Below-market-rate housing or loans represent subsidized alternatives.
