Property Valuation

Regression and progression are real estate valuation principles. Regression means:

AA higher-value property is negatively affected by being surrounded by lower-value properties✓ Correct
BA lower-value property benefits from being adjacent to higher-value properties
CProperty values always decrease over time
DProperties of similar value always cluster together

Explanation

The principle of regression holds that a higher-value property placed among lower-value properties tends to have its value pulled downward (regressed). This is why an overimproved property may not achieve full return on investment.
