Property Valuation
In Montana, the concept of 'progression' in real estate value means that:
AProperty values always increase over time
BA lower-value property's value is enhanced by being surrounded by higher-value properties✓ Correct
CProperty values increase as improvements are added
DAppraisers use progressive estimation methods
Explanation
Progression is the opposite of regression: a lower-value property benefits from being surrounded by higher-value properties—its value is pulled upward. This principle is why a modest home in an upscale neighborhood may sell for more than it would elsewhere.
