Realtor.com® Back to School Survey Finds School Boundaries Play Major Role in Home Buying Decisions

Home Consumer
August 1, 2013
Reading Time: 2 mins read

school_bus_neighborhoodRealtor.com®, operated by Move, Inc., recently announced the results of its Back to School survey that ran on realtor.com® from July 18-22 and analyzed how much impact school boundaries have on buyers looking to purchase a home within two years. Realtor.com® found that 3 out of 5 home buyers surveyed said school boundaries will impact their home purchasing decision.

Key Survey Findings:
A majority of home buyers who said school boundaries will have an impact are willing to pay 1 percent to 10 percent above budget to live within school boundaries:

• 23.59 percent would pay 1 percent to 5 percent above budget
• 20.70 percent would pay 6 percent to 10 percent above budget
• 8.98 percent would pay 11 percent to 20 percent above budget
• 40.33 percent would not go above budget

“Our survey demonstrates the large impact school boundaries have on those looking to purchase a home. In April, realtor.com® launched its new mobile school search functionality which allows buyers to search for listings in specific school and district boundaries,” said Barbara O’Connor, chief marketing officer at Move, Inc. “This data shows how compelling this new feature is to consumers and the impact it has on their home purchase experience. School search demonstrates realtor.com®’s commitment to innovation and expansion of features based on the needs of users and customers. We will also be launching a section on our realtor.com site focused on back to school tips which will provide more information to help those whose housing decisions are influenced by school boundaries.”
