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.

When it actually makes sense to sell... Check for these conditions

1. Market Conditions:
1) There's low Inventory. Fewer homes on the market means more competition which drives up price.
2) Recent comparable sales near you are high, indicating healthy appreciation.
3) Homes are selling quickly, with short “days on market”
(Your agent can help with this info!)

2. Personal Circumstances:
There are many circumstances that warrant a home sale. These are the ones we see most often:
- job changes
- growing family
- desire for more space
- desire for less upkeep
- desire for a change of pace
