Veilleux bought a home three years ago and its value decreased after a nearby property was rezoned for commercial use. What principle of value is involved in this situation?

  1. External Factors

  2. Conformity

  3. Progression

  4. Regression

  5. Inside Influence

  6. Value Change

The correct answer is: External Factors

The correct answer is A. External Factors. In this situation, the value of Veilleux's home decreased due to an external factor - the rezoning of a nearby property for commercial use. External factors can significantly impact the value of a property and are beyond the control of the property owner. In real estate, external factors such as changes in zoning, neighboring developments, or economic conditions can influence the value of a property. Therefore, the principle of value involved in this scenario is External Factors. The other options are not relevant to this situation: - Conformity refers to properties conforming to surrounding properties. - Progression and Regression are appraisal principles related to the positive or negative impact of neighboring properties on a subject property's value. - Inside Influence typically refers to factors within the property itself that can impact its value. - Value Change is a general term and does not specifically address the external factor affecting the property's value in this scenario.
