"Yes, the school system matters." That was a quote from a reader of the Wall Street Journal blog. When shopping or selling a home, my buyers and sellers always ask me questions about the importance and quality of the school district. They also make comments similiar to these quotes that were also made on the wsj.ocm blog:

"We have young children and are self-described childhood education junkies. The school district will be our number one consideration for the location of our next home."

"Schools were the top factor in determining where to buy our last house...The cost difference between the increased taxes and mortgage payments was balanced against the cost of tuition in a private school. Getting into the top school district...was worth (the) extra in what we were willing to spend."

"We are looking to locate in a better suburban school system than the one we are in. Even though it will cause our taxes to increase greatly, we would like to live in a better district. Property values are holding up better in those areas. By the way, we don't even have children!"
