Local Schools Rank High in the Nation!

usnews1.pngI was excited to see 4 schools from the DC region in the top 100!  Thomas Jefferson High school was ranked #1 across all high school in the United States!  That is an amazing accomplishment!  The following were the other 3 schools from the region were placed:

44     Walt Whitman High Bethesda, MD

54     Thomas S. Wootton High Rockville, MD

55     McLean High McLean, VA

57     Winston Churchill High Potomac, MD

76     Langley High McLean, VA

90     Woodson High Fairfax, VATo view the entire list please go here

So what does this all mean for real estate?  Neighborhoods that feed into higher ranking schools generally have properties that are on the market for less number of days, and sell for a higher price.  It is easy to determine why, individuals when given the choice want their children to go to the best schools they can.  Though, if you live in a neighborhood where the high school you feed into does not appear on this list, do not conclude that you will have a difficult time selling your home!

What do you think about this list?  If you were purchasing in this region would you try to buy a house that feeds into one of these schools?  I would love to hear from you.  You can either email me at psingh@rempower.com or leave a comment right here!

I look forward to seeing you in a future workshop!
