Property Valuation

The 'principle of regression' in real estate valuation holds that:

AA. Older properties always decline in value
BB. A high-value property surrounded by lower-value properties will be pulled down in value✓ Correct
CC. Property values always return to historical averages
DD. Regression to the mean applies only to commercial properties

Explanation

The principle of regression states that a higher-value property (over-improvement) located among lower-value properties will tend to have its value negatively affected by the surroundings. This is why appraisers look for conformity.
