The most probable price which a property should bring in a competitive and open market under all conditions requisite to a fair sale, the buyer and seller each acting prudently and knowledgeably, and assuming the price is not affected by undue stimulus. Implicit in this definition is the consummation of a sale as of a specified date and the passing of title from seller to buyer under conditions whereby:
1. The Buyer and Seller are typically willing and knowledgeable.
2. Both parties are well informed or well advised, and each acting in what they consider their own best interests.
3. A reasonable time is allowed for exposure in the open market.
