From NAR
When homebuyers picture their dream home, they're often imagining more than what's inside the front door. A new NAR survey found that neighborhood walkability continues to be a top priority, with many buyers looking for easy access to restaurants, parks, shopping, schools, and other everyday destinations.
A walkable neighborhood offers convenience, but it also creates a lifestyle. Being able to grab a coffee, take an evening stroll, visit a local park, or run errands without a long drive is becoming increasingly important for buyers of all ages.
For REALTORS®, this is a great reminder that the neighborhood can be just as important as the home itself. Showcasing nearby amenities, local favorites, walking trails, and community attractions can help buyers envision what life could look like beyond the property.
