Property Valuation

The principle of 'substitution' is the foundation of all three appraisal approaches because it states:

AA property's value is determined by future income potential only
BA prudent buyer will pay no more for a property than the cost of acquiring an equally desirable substitute property, setting an upper limit on value✓ Correct
CProperties in the same neighborhood always have the same value
DThe government determines the maximum value of any property

Explanation

The principle of substitution underlies all three approaches: a buyer will not pay more than the cost of a comparable substitute (sales comparison approach), the cost to build an equivalent (cost approach), or the present value of equivalent income streams (income approach).
