Homeowners Guide to Going Green
All across the world, homeowners are going green. As with any initiative, going green can range from small simple steps to full house retrofit. There are many benefits of greening up your living space, including improving the indoor air quality, saving energy, reducing waste, and saving money on energy bills.
When the whole green concept was first introduced many thought it was just a trend, but the research is out and going green is not only healthy but can quantifiably beneficial. With energy bills on the increase going green can put some green back into your pocket- a trend that everyone should strive to achieve.
So how can going green save you money? Many green products are designed to be sustainable. While in some case these products could be initially more expensive they will save money in the long run. In addition, these green additions could make your home much more valuable in the eyes of potential buyers- possibly giving you as a seller a serious market advantage.
According to the National Association of REALTORS® green housing trends are on the rise and a recent poll shows 8 out of 10 home buyers consider energy efficiency of major importance.
