Here in mid-August in Arizona, as the infamous desert heat still blazes, the unmistakable signal is clear: kids are back in school statewide. That first early morning bell? It’s also the official cue, summer is winding down, and Labor Day weekend is right around the corner.
But don’t sweat it, this time of year is exciting! Think Halloween costume plans, fall décor, and yes…pumpkin-spice everything. It’s also prime time for home buying and selling in Arizona. Many buyers start searching now so they can close on their new home before Thanksgiving, decorate in December, and host holiday parties without moving stress.
🎒 Back-to-School Moves: Why Schools Matter for Every Homeowner
At The Grandon Group, we’ve emphasized this on our podcast, The Lockbox, and it belongs right here: local schools and school-board decisions can directly affect your property value, whether you have kids or not.

Here’s what smart homeowners and buyers in Arizona know:
-
When schools thrive, homes soar. High-performing schools, driven by engaged parents, strong leadership, and solid test scores, attract buyers, which drives Arizona home values higher.
-
When schools struggle, markets suffer. Low community involvement and poor school-board decisions can lead to underperforming schools, fewer interested buyers, and stagnant or even declining property values.
What can you do?
-
Attend or watch your local school board meetings.
-
Stay informed about issues like budget allocations, academic performance, and extracurricular offerings.
-
Remember, this isn’t political, it’s about protecting your investment and your community.
