An extremely contemporary house in a neighborhood of colonial homes might suffer a negative influence on its value due to violation of which principle?

  1. Principle of conformity

  2. Principle of contribution

  3. Principle of progression

  4. Principle of anticipation

The correct answer is: Principle of conformity

Conformity refers to homes in a neighborhood being similar in terms of design, size, and features. An extremely contemporary house in this case would stand out and violate the principle of conformity, as it does not fit in with surrounding homes. This could potentially lead to a decrease in property value as the unconventional house may not be as desirable to potential buyers looking for a more traditional home. The other principles do not directly relate to the scenario described and therefore would not be the best answer.
