Define Regression in Real Estate

Regression: 

Regression occurs when a property's value is reduced because of its association with other properties that are of lower quality or have different characteristics. This can happen when a property is located near other properties that are in poor condition or have lower values, which can bring down the value of the neighboring properties.

Example: 

Let's say you own a home in a neighborhood where there are several properties that are in poor condition and have not been well-maintained. This can have a negative effect on the value of your home, even if your home is in good condition and has been well-maintained.
