Home Buyers Desires
Sixty percent of Americans say they favor neighborhoods with walkable features and a shorter commute, according to a new industry survey.
According to the National Association of Realtors® 2013 Community Preference Survey, homebuyers indicate that while the size of the property does matter, they are willing to compromise size for a preferred neighborhood.
A home’s “walk score” has increasingly become a factor for buyers tired of long commutes and having to get in the car just to go to the grocery store.
