Housefax® Adds Local School Data to Property History Reports
Home buyers cite school proximity and quality as key deciding factors in home purchase
WASHINGTON, Oct. 4, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Housefax, a leader in residential property history information, continues to enhance its property history report for consumers and industry professionals. Recently, Housefax added local school data including proximity, enrollment size, total expenses and advanced placement opportunities to its flagship report.
The quality and proximity of schools is consistently ranked as one of the most important factors in parents' decisions about where to buy a home. School quality is also important for home buyers who have no children, since it has a significant impact on housing value and can ease the selling of a home in the future.
According to the National Association of Realtors®, of all the local neighborhood amenities that can influence a buyer's decision to purchase a home, proximity to good quality schools is one of the most influential.
"We understand the importance of local school information to home buyers around the country," said Hassib Amiryar, Housefax CTO. "This highly relevant information complements our comprehensive property history report, which home buyers and real estate professionals have come to rely on as a trusted, independent resource to learn more about a property."
According to the 2014 National Association of Realtors Profile of Home Buyers and Sellers, 29% of home buyers listed school quality and 22% listed proximity to schools as deciding factors in their home purchase.
In addition to school data, Housefax Property History Reports include incidents, voluntary liens, natural hazards, permit history, utilities, and more. This information is not typically found on other listing sites and complements the MLS system, helping consumers to know before they buy and agents to know before they list.
