easy · National Real Estate Exam valuation

A homeowner spends $20,000 adding a pool, but the home's value rises by only $8,000.

Which appraisal principle explains why the value increase does not equal the cost?

  1. The principle of substitution, which compares the cost of an equally desirable alternative.
  2. The principle of contribution, an improvement's value is what it adds, not what it cost.
  3. The principle of supply and demand, which measures how many buyers want the home.
  4. The principle of progression, which raises value when nearby homes are more expensive.
