One of the biggest indicators of VALUE when people sell their homes...

It's the school district! 

Homes in sought-after school districts are \*always\* in demand. 

It makes sense why:

1) School quality and reputation

Great schools attract families with school-aged children. 42% of buyers ages 31-41 — those most likely to have young children — are influenced by school district quality.

2) Property values

Homes in high-performing suburban school districts are valued 49% higher than the national average. 

3) Demand and market dynamics

Areas and neighborhoods in desirable schools experience higher demand, multiple offers and quicker sales — 8 days quicker on average.

4) Appraisal value

Appraisers consider nearby schools when assessing property value. A positive school reputation can support higher appraisals and market value.

5) Neighborhood stability

School quality adds to neighborhood stability, drawing long-term homeowners willing and ready to invest in the community.
