disagree that value is subjective. Agree that the more heterogeneous the market, the more challenging to nail down value. Think of value as the 'market clearing price' if that helps. It's the price where all available goods for sale are 'cleared'. At prices above market value, product doesn't sell. At prices below market value, there isn't enough product. Take gold for example. The SD for spot price of gold is pretty small - that's because the gold market is an efficient market - lots of sellers, lots of buyers, no asymmetry of information, homogenous products, low barriers to entry. SD for a home, however, is typically not very tight (unless you have an extremely homogeneous market (high rise condos for example).Value is Purely subjective
