[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A couple of observations.  As a white guy, I have not looked at any potential area, and thought about the racial make-up as part of my buying decision.  School quality, location, ease of commute, and price have been the driving factors.  I also do not think any realtor with even an iota of sense would admit to knowing what the racial make-up of any area is, and directing buyers to or from an area, based on that.  That is discrimination.  Finally, I really couldn't care if my neighbors were white, black, Asian, Jewish, or tutti-frutti colored.  I hope that they will try and maximize their investment with sound upkeeping, maintenance, etc., ya know, act like rational and sensible home owners.   As for school quality: if the schools suck, real estate prices will follow that.  Smart money that can leave, will leave.  Tax base shrinks, and, those left behind suffer.  Thank you school unions.[/quote]

Realtors cannot discuss  school quality, crime  or  racial demographics. It violates the Fair Housing Act.[/quote]
