Day 16 of 90 Ways We Serve You: Understanding School Districts and Their Effect on Home Values

 

 

When it comes to buying or selling a home, one of the most important factors to consider is the quality of the local school district. On Day 16 of our “90 Ways We Serve You” series, we explore how school districts can impact home values and why this should be a key consideration in your real estate decisions.

The Importance of School Districts

A good school district is often at the top of the list for many homebuyers, particularly those with children or planning to start a family. Even for buyers without children, a reputable school district can be a strong indicator of a desirable neighborhood, which can positively influence property values.

Impact on Home Values

Homes located in highly-rated school districts tend to have higher property values. According to a study by the National Bureau of Economic Research, homes in good school districts can sell for as much as 20% more than similar homes in lower-rated districts. This premium reflects the demand for quality education and the desire for a stable and thriving community.

Benefits for Sellers

If you’re selling a home in a well-regarded school district, this can be a significant selling point. Highlighting the quality of local schools in your marketing materials can attract more potential buyers and possibly result in a higher selling price. It’s an advantage that can set your property apart from others on the market.

Considerations for Buyers

For homebuyers, investing in a property within a good school district can provide long-term benefits. Not only does it ensure access to quality education, but it also offers the potential for strong property value appreciation. Even if you don’t have children, purchasing a home in a top-rated school district can be a smart investment strategy.
