When it comes to determining your home’s value, one factor stands out time and time again — the school district.

Homes located in highly rated school districts are always in demand, and it’s easy to see why:

1️⃣ School Quality and Reputation

Great schools attract families with school-aged children. In fact, 42% of buyers ages 31–41 — those most likely to have young kids — say school district quality influences their decision.

2️⃣ Property Values

Homes in top-performing suburban school districts are valued an average of 49% higher than the national average. That’s a huge impact on your home’s potential resale value.

3️⃣ Demand and Market Dynamics

Desirable school zones often mean more competition, more offers, and faster sales — on average, homes sell 8 days quicker in these areas.

4️⃣ Appraisal Value

Appraisers also take nearby school quality into account when determining property value. A strong reputation can help support a higher appraisal and stronger market value.

5️⃣ Neighborhood Stability

High-quality schools create long-term community investment. Families often stay for years, adding to neighborhood stability and appeal.
