What is the Perfect Neighborhood?

Great data and I always appreciate the east of digesting information in an infographic. We see the numbers play out in our business. Most of our boomer clients want suburban or rual areas. 

Interesting insights about todays buyers ! My 1 year black lab has me walking 1-2 miles per day !

Great infographic from the NAR, Lottie. In general,  I don't think we do enough to use materials like this so available to us.

Good afternoon Lottie - it certainly appears to be a generational thing.  As we get older our desires also change.  I am doing more walking now.

I saw that graphic the other day, Lottie, and I had a different take on it. The percentages, between 50% nd 60%. It says to me that about half of the people surveyed have a different preference. So I figured so what? I didn't see that it warranted a press release.

As for walking, people SAY they want to walk but do they actually do it? I know you do, you're an avid hiker, but most other people? They won't even walk 2 blocks to the grocery store. People are pretty lazy.

Hi Lottie: Also, public transportation in San Francisco is really easy to use, you don't need a car. I bet if the survey was done in San Francisco, the walkability preference would be 95%. Also, I can admit to asking my husband to get behind me and push me up a hill.

Lottie it is interesting to see the different preferences between age groups.

For me it is having the neighbors atleast 1/2 mile from my home

Thank you for sharing the infographic. I will share it with others 

It's certainly a challenge in L.A. to find walkable neighborhoods and they are, needless to say among the more expensive neighborhoods. Now, because of our growing metro rail system, homes close to metro stations are becoming equally hard to find.

Well once the routes are completed that will be it. But in L.A. it is obviously more important to live close to rail transportation so those areas will remain hot. We do not take buses here.
