Question of the Week

The question of the week comes from Drew, an appraiser from Hayward, who asks: "How would school closure affect homes prices in the Crestmoor area?"

Answer: Drew, while it is hard to put a hard number on a dollar amount, any school closure would adversely affect the neighborhood's home values. Home buyers, especially those starting families, are very interested in the local school and its performance. In addition, local schools are used by residents as parks and playgrounds. A good school creates desirability which in turn creates demand.
