Boost your real estate listings with school data: A game changer for savvy realtors

As a realtor, you know that location is everything — and for many homebuyers, that includes proximity to quality schools. But how can you effectively showcase this crucial information on your website and listings? Enter the GreatSchools.org NearbySchools™ API, a powerful tool that can take your real estate game to the next level.

Why school information matters to buyers

Let's face it: for families with children (or who plan to have children), school quality is often a deal-breaker. But did you know just how crucial school information has become in the home-buying process? Recent statistics paint a compelling picture:

• A whopping 75% of homebuyers in their 30s place high importance on school district selection.
• 67% of buyers in their 40s consider school district quality a key factor.
• In 2023, 52% of all buyers rated school districts as highly important — a significant jump from 43% in previous years.

Whether buyers are looking for top-rated schools or specific programs, these numbers tell us one thing: school information isn't just nice to have — it's essential. By providing comprehensive, easy-to-understand school information right on your listings, you're not just selling a house — you're selling a future that more than half of all buyers are actively seeking.
