Search For Perfect Home Often Includes School

And this internet traffic is huge, considering that about half of all home buyers – totaling 5.5 million last year – have children under 18, according to the 2016 edition of the National Association of Realtors’® Profile of Home Buyers and Sellers.

Now, writer David Siroty reports, a new realtor.com® search feature makes it easy to find a home next to the school of a client’s choice.
