Back-to-School and Real Estate

It's that time of year again.  Kids are heading back to school and fall is in the air!

How does that relate to real estate?  School districts can play a major role in choosing a home. Recent surveys show that school district boundaries play a major role in choosing a home in 60% of home buyers.

Many buyers are willing to make concessions on what kind of home they would like to buy if it is in the school district that they would like to see their children attend.  Many are willing to pay a little more and settle for less features that they are looking for to be in a better school system.

The best way buyers can find out about local school systems is to do a search of the areas they are interested in and also to find a local realtor who is knowledgeable about their area and the local school districts.  Check out features of the nearby school districts and their report cards.  Talking to other parents is also a great way to learn about a  quality school system for your children to attend.
