All property is influenced by the principle of change. As a result of change, value is subject to fluctuation. This is the reason that an appraisal is done "as of" a certain date. This is also why an appraiser must consider market conditions at the time of the appraisal.
Change may be caused by:
•Natural phenomena
•Changes in the market
•Political influences
•Etc.
