Intangible Value

Updated May 17, 2026

Intangible Value refers to the value associated with non-physical assets or benefits that contribute to the overall worth of a property or business, but are not directly tied to its physical components. This is distinct from the value of tangible assets and from Market Value and Other Valuation Concepts, which typically focuses on the physical real estate.

Examples of intangible value in a real estate context might include:

• Goodwill of a business operating on the property.
• Favorable zoning or development rights.
• Easements or access rights.
• Brand recognition or reputation associated with a location.

While not directly appraised as part of the real estate's market value, intangible values can influence a property's overall desirability and potential for income generation.
