Demand for Homes Near Good Schools Soars Before September

Real estate expert Alexei Tkachenko has reported a surge in demand for homes near good schools, particularly for families with children entering higher education or needing access to quality education. Parents are willing to relocate to ensure their children’s access to top schools or sports programs. Some families are even considering renting out their current homes and renting near prestigious educational institutions. According to Tkachenko, such transactions could account for as much as 30% of all real estate deals by the start of the school year. Families prioritize convenient transportation, with proximity to bus stops or metro stations being a key factor. Safety remains a top concern, with parents seeking assurance that their children can safely travel to school, especially in the evenings.
