Valuation & AppraisalQuestion 96 of 120
The principle of 'conformity' in appraisal suggests that a property's maximum value is generally realized when:
a.It is far larger and more expensive than all neighbors
b.It is similar in style and use to surrounding properties
c.It is the smallest home in the area
d.It has no relationship to nearby properties
Explanation
The principle of conformity holds that properties reach their maximum value when they are reasonably similar to others in the neighborhood. Overimprovement or underimprovement relative to neighbors can reduce value. Related principles are regression and progression.
