AMI 2008 Fair Market Value—Factors to Consider
In determining the fair market value of property, you may consider not only the opinions of the various witnesses who testified as to market value, but also all other evidence in the case which may aid in determining market value, such as location of the property, the surroundings and general environment, any particular suitability of the property for particular uses, and the reasonable probabilities as to future potential uses, if any, for which the property was suitable or physically adaptable, all as shown by the evidence at the time of taking.
