Value clearly isn't a property of things, since some things are valued by some and not by others. Nor does it need to be assigned. I don't have to sit around and decide that water is of value to me, or to attribute value to water.
Value is an awareness of our own reaction to a thing. If I'm thirsty, I value water. If I'm a normal adult, I value sex. If I'm a normal child, I value candy and toys. I have awareness of the degree to which I require / want various things, and this is value. There's no expression of the will of god, or of a Platonic idea, or anything else, required.
