With all the current discussion surrounding education, there is one undeniable fact: Parents want their children to receive the best possible education. With this in mind, it’s not difficult to see why potential home buyers generally rank quality schools only behind shorter commutes, affordability, and proximity to family on their must-have lists. When one or more children enter into the equation, buyers place education and nearness to schools ahead of both price and nearby family. This decided preference for quality education puts sellers in school districts with high test scores and high college acceptance rates at an advantage. It may cost more to live in neighborhoods with good schools, but most feel that it is well worth it.

HINT: Empty-nesters with no further need for local schools may want to reap the rewards of living in a good school district by selling their homes to buyers with school-aged children and moving to outlying areas.
