WalkScore Adds Value in New Study

I have been using WalkScore to advertise my listings since I first learned about it a year and a half ago. Intuitively, I knew that higher walking scores would add value to property, particularly if the property was located near transit hubs, but this is the first study to demonstrate dollars for scores. The study indicates that for some metropolitan areas, one point of walking score can equate to up to $3,000 in value.
