Walkscore now available for all homes for sale
One important but often overlooked factor in the home search process can be a home's 'walkability' or its proximity to important amenities such as the grocery store or coffee shop. Buyers are usually very focused on a home's price, size and it's general location, while often ignoring the day-to-day walkability of the home.
In order to make consumers more aware of a home's walkability earlier in their home search process, we have partnered with with Walk Score and have launched a new feature that displays a 'Walk Score' for every home for sale on our website. The Walk Score measures the relative walkability
score of
a home on a 100-point scale. Scores are calculated
by Walk Score according to a formula based on a home's proximity
to grocery stores,
restaurants, coffee shops, parks, movies, bars, mass transit
stations and
more.
To use this new feature, all you need to do is visit the 'Neighborhood Info' tab on each home for sale you are viewing.
