    "excerpt": "SEATTLE , Sept. 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- The typical U.S. home located in a highly rated school zone costs $580,000, which is 35% more than $430,000 for the typical overall home. That's according to a new repo rt from Redfin , the real estate brokerage powered by Rocket. A U.S. household would need to earn $159,157 to afford a home in a highly rated school zone.

Redfin's analysis compares home-sale prices in highly rated school zones (those with a GreatSchools ranking of 8-10 out of 10) with the typical home in that metro area. In this report, a school zone refers to the local public high school. The price data is a Redfin analysis of prices for sales between January and June 2026 in the 81 U.S. metro areas included in the report. Redfin also analyzed other affordability measures to conceptualize the difference between buying a home in a highly rated school zone and buying the typical U.S. home: \"Access to a highly rated school zone can come with a steep price tag, but house hunters who consider school ratings in their search may find smaller price differences in metro areas where highly rated schools are more common,\" said Yingqi Xu, a senior...",
