Clayton North Carolina Schools.....Because They are Ranked so Highly add Value to Clayton Homes.
This is from an article Money Magazine did in May 2010 and it was brought to my attention by a couple from Upstate New York who were relocating and were taking into consideration the schools in Clayton. Their kids are all out of the house and have no need for schools however as the article points out the fact that the house you are buying is in a good/great school district adds value to the property.
The magazine article was titled 'WHY IT PAYS TO SEEK OUT GREAT SCHOOLS' and it states that homes in an area with good public schools tend to appreciate more in up markets and sell faster and for higher prices in down markets.
They also recommend doing some research and discovering up and coming school districts where the home prices have not reached the levels associated with well know districts.
Clayton would certainly fit that category as home prices can be substantially lower than the equivalent in Raleigh and Cary. The great advantage with Clayton and Johnston County Homes is that you can find homes with larger lots, trees, walking trails, etc. There are Custom Homes in Cary or North Raleigh that would cost $100,000 more than the same house in Clayton.
Johnston County borders Wake County, home to Raleigh and in some cases there are subdivisions in both counties. Clayton area schools are ranked very highly and they have just added two brand new high schools.
