About Us At HouseAppreciation.com ®

School quality drives house appreciation. The best and most accurate source of house appreciation from the leaders in school ratings and auditing. HouseAppreciation.com is uniquely organized into easy-to-identify school attendance areas. We rate neighborhood appreciation values by historical appraised house value increases and school test scores to assist the residential real estate investor.

Few real estate buyers are experts at choosing the right livable community in which they will also realize potential increases in house appreciation. Today, people interested in buying in residential real estate are looking for communities with both lifestyle advantages and where this major investment will help reap outstanding appreciation. That's the purpose of this index. We use an advanced analytical system to help advise real estate buyers on where to place their property purchase dollar for maximum return. The critical link in this output is the relationship between the location of quality schools and the location of community real estate value.

In 1985, Dr. William L. Bainbridge, Ms. Kathryn B. Bleimes and Dr. Steven M. Sundre began building databases on the nation's public school systems, high schools and communities. Their firm, SchoolMatch®, has since developed a reputation for excellence in predicting school quality.
