market values

What things cost

Market values are the prices assets would fetch in open exchange between willing buyers and sellers.

The term appears in real estate, finance, and accounting: The market value of the house exceeded the asking price.

In the plural, market values can also refer to the priorities of commerce—profit, efficiency, competition—sometimes with disapproval: Critics argue that market values have corrupted education.
