Suddenly walking is in trend.  Over the last few years studies have shown that buyers are interested more then ever before in a neighborhoods walk ability.  People now want to live in areas where if they have a car they can park it and walk to local restaurants, parks etc.  I thought this site might be useful to First Time Buyers unfamiliar with an area to calculate the walk ability of the address.  http://www.walkscore.com If you are interested in listings in a specific area shoot me an email or go to my website for more information on local listings http://www.debbiegreto.yourkwagent.com
