Home Buyers Sold on Trails
Trails help sell houses, according to a survey by the National Association of Realtors (NAR) and the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB).
The survey report, "Consumers’ Survey on Smart Choices for Home Buyers", released in April, shows that 36 percent of 2,000 recent home buyers designated walking, jogging or biking trails as either an “important” or “very important” community amenity. Trail availability outranked 16 other options including security, ball fields, golf courses, parks and access to shopping or business centers. Only highway access, at 44 percent, was specified as a top amenity by more of the home buyers surveyed. Read the full report in pdf here...
