Real estate on a Roll
– The report also noted real estate trends across these pedal-power paradises.
– Home prices in these bikeable cities are a bit lower than the state median, standard deviation still included.
– Coincidentally all cities shared the property trend where the older the house, the louder the floor creaks. (Okay, maybe that’s just an age-old ghost in the real estate machine, but it’s worth noting.)
And now, time for my hot take-bike style!
Your Home, Your Bike Shed
Strapping on your helmet might be more than just a safety measure – it could very well be your ticket to affordable housing. And let’s not forget the unparalleled joy of cycling and the sweet sound of your bike chain, a harmony better than any garage band next door. So, this just in – swapping gas pedals for bike pedals might just be the new sexy in real estate. It’s green, affordable, and chic, resonating with millennials and boomers alike. Just remember to oil your chains before you explore these bike-friendly neighborhoods, or you might end up sounding like The Tin Man from The Wizard of Oz!
Adding a pinch of humor, even the real estate market seems to be cycling along with the trend – the greener the commute, the better the price. All in all, it looks like New Jersey is pioneering a shift towards a sustainable pedal discourse in the property landscape. Now don’t waste away that excitement, you’ve got neighborhoods to discover, houses to check out, and tailwinds to chase; all on your beat-up, two-wheeled cruiser! Bike on home shoppers, bike on!
