The Cycle-friendly Era and Its Impact on Housing Trends
So, wheeling down to the hot take – it seems the bikeability race is getting really… “spoke-n” hot in Arizona, and the real estate market isn’t the one to take a backseat, oh no! It’s riding “gear” on. (Okay, we’re done with the cycling puns.) It’s clear that communities are shifting gears (forgive us, just one more!) and increasingly promoting an active lifestyle, which appears to be swaying homeowner choices. Gone are the days where choosing a home merely depended on budget and square footage.
The home buying process is becoming as multifaceted as a Swiss army knife – we’re now considering bikeability alongside factors like school zip codes, dog-parks, and whether the local coffee shop makes a decent flat white. Redfin has clearly highlighted the effect of such living preferences on house prices and undoubtedly, more cities will pedal their way up to join the race. In the meantime, dust off that helmet, pump those tires, and look forward to those real estate tours taking a more… “kinetic” turn!
