Monetary Value
Definition
- An economic value placed on goods or services in relation to current market conditions. For example, your home's monetary value may increase substantially in times where there are very few homes for sale in your area, but may decrease the same if there's an abundance of homes available on the market, therefore your home may have a different monetary value at any given time.
- A property's monetary value is its worth if sold at this moment in time.
