Property Valuation

In Michigan, 'regression' and 'progression' principles in appraisal state that:

AAll values in a neighborhood move together in the same direction
BA lower-value property's value is pulled up by surrounding higher-value properties (progression) and pulled down if surrounded by lower-value properties (regression)✓ Correct
CValues always decrease over time
DNew construction always increases value of surrounding properties

Explanation

Regression: a higher-value property surrounded by lower-value properties will be pulled down in value. Progression: a lower-value property surrounded by higher-value properties will be pulled up. Michigan appraisers consider these effects in sales comparison.
