In U.S. cities, homes within walking distance to jobs, schools, shopping, parks and other urban amenities are both highly desired and extremely rare. Fewer than 2 percent of \u00a0active listings are considered a walker\u2019s paradise (Walk Score<\/a> of 90 and above). Yet 56 percent of millennials and 46 percent of boomers prefer walkable communities<\/a> with a range of housing amidst local businesses and public services<\/span>. And like everything rare and desirable, walkability comes at a premium; homes highly \u201cwalkable\u201d to amenities, everything else being equal, are more expensive than comparable homes in less \u201cwalkable\u201d areas. <\/span><\/p>\n

To estimate how much walkability is worth when buying or selling a home<\/a>, we looked at the sale prices and Walk Score ratings of more than one million homes sold between January 2014 and April 2016 across 14 major metro areas to determine the average price of one Walk Score point. <\/span><\/p>\n

We found that one Walk Score point can increase the price of a home by an average of \u00a0$3,250 or 0.9 percent. <\/span><\/p>\n

Here are the price premiums of one point of Walk Score on a home by metro area:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

\u201cOutside of Midtown, walkable homes are a rarity in Atlanta,\u201d said Redfin agent Sascha Gummersbach. \u201cBut that\u2019s changing as new, walkable developments across the area, like Avalon in Alpharetta and revitalization efforts in the historic downtowns of Woodstock and Roswell are creating more opportunities for convenience-minded homebuyers. Several of my clients who have sold homes in Midtown and other walkable areas have opted to move nearby, even closer to the restaurants and bars they love walking to, rather than move out to bigger homes.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

These estimates compare homes by controlling for differences in property and neighborhood characteristics, including property size, number of bedrooms and bathrooms, age of the building, type of property (single-family, condo or townhouse), neighborhood median income and total employment, as well as controls for market conditions (appreciation over time). In all 14 metro areas, a home located in a more walkable neighborhood was more expensive than the same home in a less walkable location.<\/p>\n

\"Home<\/figure>\n

Not all Walk Score points create equal value. An increase in Walk Score from\u00a0 19 to 20 resulted in a home price increase of about $181 on average across the metros. On the other hand, moving from a location with a Walk Score of 79 to that with a score of 80 resulted in a home price increase of over $7,000.<\/p>\n

The results differed by metro area as well. For example, a change in Walk Score from 60 to 80 in San Francisco increased a comparable home\u2019s value by $187,630, but in Phoenix the increased walkability only adds $15,700. The price premiums accelerate even more as the Walk Score gets closer to 100, implying high demand relative to supply for homes in high scoring city areas. The overall price impact as a percentage of the median home price in a metro was 22 times greater in San Francisco than in Orange County.<\/p>\n

\"Home<\/figure>\n

These premiums show that people pay more for homes in areas with a high Walk Score, even when adjusting for other factors. With this in mind, policy makers, real estate developers and investors can do two things. First, they can work to build more homes in areas with high Walk Score ratings, thereby increasing the supply of homes and giving more people an opportunity to live in these areas. Second, they can work to increase the Walk Score of city areas, thereby bringing walkability to the places people already live.<\/p>\n

Luxury Homes<\/h3>\n

Is the value of a Walk Score point worth more or less for luxury homes? Looking at the top 5 percent of homes by sale price, we find that one Walk Score point can increase the price of a luxury home by $6,800 or 0.55 percent, on average across the 14 metro areas.\u00a0 Furthermore, within all metros other than Orange County, luxury home owners were willing to pay a higher dollar premium for a point of Walk Score. These premiums made for a lower percentage of the luxury home price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

\u201cLuxury in Orange County is all about exclusivity and seclusion,\u201d said Redfin agent Vickie Melin, who is currently listing this $3.8 million, 9-bedroom, 9.5-bathroom mansion<\/a> with a Walk Score of zero in Villa Park, California. \u201cPeople in Orange County love their cars and don\u2019t give driving a second thought as it\u2019s the easiest and most convenient way to get around the area. When my clients think of walkability, they think about walking, biking, and even horse-riding paths used more for recreation than transportation.\u201d<\/p>\n

Methodology:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

A statistical technique called hedonic regression was used to estimate how much market value homebuyers implicitly attach to houses with higher Walk Score. This type of regression modelling is essentially what appraisers do when they carry out a \u201ccomps\u201d analysis. Properties are heterogeneous, each with different characteristics and locations and they transact at different times under a range of market conditions. A regression is used to make an apples-to-apples comparison between properties by controlling for these differences and compare the prices of properties with different Walk Score ratings \u201call else being equal\u201d.<\/p>\n

The hedonic regression method was also used by a 2009 study, \u201cWalking the Walk: How Walkability Raises Home Values in U.S Cities<\/a>\u201d by Joe Cortright of Impressa, Inc. The variables used in the present analysis are similar to those in the 2009 study with the exception of distance to central business district, which was unavailable for our data. In addition, we also control for historical time or real estate market conditions and find that the price premiums accelerate as Walk Score gets closer to 100.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
