Why to Buy this School Year in One of San Antonio’s Premier Public School Districts

September 18, 2012 by Philip Becker

Another school year is underway here in San Antonio, which means it’s also time to be thinking about where you live and the impact it has on your children, and how it will affect their performance this school year.

San Antonio is a wonderful city to be growing up in and going to school in; some of the best schools in San Antonio are located in our North Side Independent School District, Northeast Independent School District, and Alamo Heights Independent School District. All are consistently ranked high in academics as well as providing lots of opportunities to kids to be involved in sports, and many other extra-curricular activities.

Which brings us to the question; should you buy or rent a home this school year? Obviously, you most likely won’t want to move right in the middle of a school year so finding something now to quickly get into, or beginning your search to move over the holiday or spring break is definitely a good idea. That being said, I want to make a case that you will benefit your child and family by purchasing a home this school year. There are a number of reasons why this is a very good thing to do now; let’s look at a few:

Four Reasons why home ownership directly affects your child’s academics:

1. Home ownership gives you a base of operation in a way that renting or living in an apartment never will. When you actually own your home you will have something that you are in control of. You’ll be able to make it the center of your family life. You’ll have greater privacy and the ability to customize without worrying about a landlord. Home ownership sets an example of responsibility and self-discipline that is important for your children to see as they go forward in school and in life.

2. Home ownership increases your children’s self esteem. Studies by the National Association of REALTORS® and others have shown that home ownership increases your children’s self esteem. When your child is constantly moving they are unable to become grounded in a comfortable routine. This adds yet another level of stress to their day to day lives, which can cause many negative effects including reduced self esteem. Having a permanent place to call home removes this challenge and therefore helps contribute to a high level of self confidence.

3. Home ownership raises your child’s test scores. Another by-product of home ownership is it contributes to higher test scores. Whether that is related to simply having a better place to study, getting more undisturbed nights rest or feeling safe, this is something every parent wants to see their child achieve.

4. Home ownership strengthens communities. Home owners are the building blocks of our neighborhoods which are the building blocks of our schools. Having more homeowners and fewer renters in neighborhoods brings about more stability for our children by helping them create stronger, more sustainable friendships with the people who live near them.

So there you have four of the top reasons why buying a home in San Antonio this school year will benefit you and your child.

Still not convinced? Check out this nationally broadcast commercial produced by the National Association of REALTORS® that talks about why owning a home will make this school year your child’s best yet.
