from actual view or from the best information that the assessor
7can practicably obtain, at the full value which could ordinarily be obtained therefor
8at private sale. In determining the value, the assessor shall consider recent
9arm's-length sales of the property to be assessed if according to professionally

5provisions and rent are the result of an arm's-length transaction involving persons
6who are not related in any of the ways specified under section 267 (b) of the Internal
7Revenue Code for the year of the transaction. The assessor shall reconcile the results
8of such consideration with the professionally acceptable appraisal practices
9regarding reasonably comparable sales, the cost approach, and other methods
10specified in the Wisconsin property assessment manual provided under s. 73.03 (2a).
11In this subsection, an “arm's-length transaction" means an agreement between
