[quote=bearishgurl]In addition, buyers with school-age kids don’t want to move them unless they are on a break from school that is at the same time as the break of the school they are transferring to (likely summer). So, like it or not, those buyers with school-age kids are neck-to-neck in competition for the same houses with hoardes of other parent-buyers (“herding mentality”).[/quote]
Bearishgurl, I’ve popped on this thread because it was related to mine. This is a little OT, but since you mentioned the mentality of parents with school-age kids…
Frankly, we haven’t considered moving the kids only in summer – I mean, it’d be preferable, but it won’t factor in the timing of a house purchase. They’ll have to adapt I suppose.
doees anybody know, if you change residence in the middle of the school year – does the kid have an option to finish the year at his current school? (even if you moved to a different school district?)
thanks.
