Do The Quality of Local Schools Determine where You Buy?

 

Are you in the market to purchase a new home?   How will you determine WHERE to buy?
In real estate we have all heard that the key factor for most home buyers in determining which home to buy is “location, location, location”.   While this is usually true, what makes one location better than another?  A short commute time… area attractions… close to family or friends…  all legitimate reasons a buyer might be attracted to a certain area.
However, for a family with school-aged children, their idea of a prime location is usually determined by the quality of the area schools.
I represent both buyers and sellers in many neighborhoods in and around Forsyth County, GA and schools are almost always at the top of the list for my buyers. There are many award-winning public schools in the Forsyth County GA school system, a fact which proves to be a major draw for families buying in this area.
I have had the opportunity to work with both local buyers as well as those transferring in from other areas within the United States and abroad and it seems that, consistently, one of the most critical factors in determining whether to move to a specific area is schools.
Here are several helpful links written about the Forsyth County GA schools:
  • School Digger – Forsyth County GA Schools
  • Public School Review – Forsyth County GA Schools
  • Niche.com (Best School Districts in GA) – Forsyth County GA Schools 
  • GreatSchools. Org – Forsyth County GA Schools
So, where do schools rank on your decision to move to an area?  What websites do you use to obtain school information?  Need more information about local Cumming GA schools?  Just give me call and I’ll be happy to help you with that!
Please feel free to call or text me at 404 710 0204 (or drop me an email) if I can provide you with more information about this article, or if I can assist you with buying or selling Forsyth County real estate.
