Do school districts impact home values? You bet they do. School districts matter, not just for education, but also for long-term property value and resale potential. Good schools are actually one of the most insulating factors for home values, in a downturn.
What if you don't own yet, but are looking to buy near great schools? If that's you, you're in the right spot. North County San Diego has some of the most highly rated schools and districts in the country. Be careful though- the district borders are wacky. A home could be in Carlsbad, but be in San Marcos Unified School District, in Oceanside, but be in Carlsbad Unified, and don’t get us started on San Dieguito…
Here’s what smart buyers are prioritizing:
- Highly rated school districts
- Desirable neighborhoods
- Walkability to schools and parks
- Homes with space for homework (and play!)
Finding the right home means thinking beyond the walls, and into the future. And if schools districts are an important line item for you, your agent MUST be familiar with where the borders lie. It’s too important to leave to chance. Selling a home in a desirable district? You're agent better know the value of that or you could leave thousands on the table.
