casaguru: Green homes: fashion or trend? - 07/20/09 04:19 PM

An article on casaGURU via www.newscanada.com claims that newhomebuyers are more likely to go for energy efficient green homes than any other. Why? Because not only is it the more environmentally concious choice, but it saves money in the long run like on heating bills, for instance.
Below is an excerpt from that article:
There are selling points and then there are selling points. Energy efficiency continues to be one of the most sought after features among home buyers in Canada today; in fact a … (2 comments)
