The Benefits of Buying in a Great School District

My trusty pal Mr. Licorice joined me recently to talk about some of the benefits of buying a home located within a Greater Philadelphia-area school district.

Even if you don’t have young children yourself, it’s still important to check out the quality of local schools where you’re thinking of buying a home. More than any other factor, good schools establish a good location to buy a home in.

Buying a home in an excellent school district will result in paying more up front, but it will also help you sell for more down the line. Additionally, a home in this kind of area is more resilient to downturns in the market. These homes tend to hold their value during a recession much more often than homes in areas with lesser schools.

The internet makes it super easy to find what you need. Websites like schoolgrades.org and greatschools.org give great stats and useful information. City-Data.com can also help you get some more insight.

My big advice is to do some legwork by checking out the local schools in the area you’re considering buying in. It will really help out in the end.

If you have any questions for me in the meantime, don’t hesitate to give me a call or send me an email. I look forward to hearing from you soon.
