In the progression-regression concept, which scenario illustrates progression?

• A. The smallest house in the block
• B. A mid-range home
• C. Largest home on the block
• D. A newly built home

Answer: (B)

Progression happens when a property’s value is lifted by being near higher-valued homes. A mid-range home on a block with mixed values sits among the nicer houses enough to pull its own value upward, illustrating that upward pull described by progression. The largest home, exposed to nearby smaller, less expensive houses, would tend to be dragged down—an example of regression rather than progression. A newly built home doesn’t inherently reflect this relative-value effect in its surroundings, so it isn’t a clear illustration of progression.
