Property Valuation

The concept of 'regression' in real estate appraisal means:

AA decline in property values across an entire market
BThe value of a superior property is diminished by its association with inferior surrounding properties✓ Correct
CThe value of an inferior property is increased by proximity to superior properties
DA reduction in appraised value due to functional obsolescence

Explanation

The principle of regression holds that a higher-valued property located among lower-valued properties will be pulled down in value. Its counterpart, progression, holds that an inferior property gains value when surrounded by superior properties. These principles affect optimal property improvements and neighborhood analysis.
