The definition used in appraisal report for type of value ( as defined) is this:

"DEFINITION OF MARKET VALUE: The most probable price which a property should bring in a competitive and open market..till end)

It is not this:

"DEFINITION OF MOST PROBABLE PRICE: The market value which a property should bring in a competitive and open market..till end)

We see appraisers say: " using this definition of value, market value = the most probable price also means that the most probable price = market value."

The URAR form prohibits the appraiser from changing printed terms and definitions. If appraisers flip the word order to the most probable price = market value.", they have modified the definition.
Is modifying the definition
USPAP complaint?

A) USPAP :#92 MARKET VALUE: a type of value, stated as an opinion, that presumes the transfer of a property (i.e., a right of ownership or a bundle of such rights), as of a certain date, under specific conditions set forth in the definition of the term identified by the appraiser as applicable in an appraisal

B) DEFINITION OF MARKET VALUE: The most probable price which a property should bring in a competitive and open market ...(till end of definition).


Keep in mind the B definition of value ( as defined) sets forth the specific conditions used in the opinion. B serves A, the B definition for type of value is not a swap out interchangeable with the A) USPAP definition of market value stated as an opinion.
 
Apple = Fruit
Ergo:
Fruit = Apple

Yes to the above as its own example. However the issue of MV definition application in a report is not a this =that .It is this: the MV definition, acts as a qualifier of that.:the MV opinion

The MV definition is a specific word order with commensurate meaning. Reversing the order changes the MV definition from a set of conditions for a value opinion. ( and modification to definitions are not allowed on the URAR form)

The MV definition does not state an Apple=Fruit.
It sets forth conditions for a type of value ( a type of fruit) used in the market value opinion of the (apple).

for the report type of value ; The definition of market value word order is important, because it is linked by AS DEFINED to the MV opinion. Thus, changing the word order, ( along the logic of this = that, so = this, changes the meaning ( and is prohibited on a URAR ) I will show what it would look like on below post to keep each post cleaner.

Switching the word order per market value=most probable price, so most probable price=MV result:

Apple = Fruit

Ergo:

Fruit = Apple
