The principles of progression and regression describe how the value of a property is influenced by neighboring properties. Progression holds that a lower-value property can be positively affected \u2014 pulled upward in value \u2014 by being located near higher-value properties. Regression is the opposite: a higher-value property may be negatively impacted by proximity to lower-value ones.<\/p>\n
