Opinions

Instruction No.           

     You must determine the fair market value of subject property only from the opinions of the witnesses who have testified.

     You may not find the market value of the property to be lower or higher than the range of values testified to by the witnesses.

     While owners and expert witnesses may express opinions on the issue of value, those opinions are worth no more than the reasons and factual data upon which they are based.

     Evidence which has been received from witnesses of the reasons for their opinions of value, and all other evidence concerning the subject property and other properties, is to be considered only for the limited purpose of enabling you to understand and weigh the opinions of the witnesses regarding market value.

     You must resolve any conflict in the testimony of the witnesses by weighing each opinion against the others, the reasons given for each opinion, the facts relied upon and the credibility and qualifications of each witness.
