Here in Asheville, NC, we are pleased to service a unique, second and vacation home niche in the real estate market. Over the years we have noticed that there have been some changes in what buyers of second and/or vacation homes look for. One in particular seems to be a trend. This is that residential energy efficiency is in high demand. We can see why.
Asheville’s second home owners know that when they can invest in or create a more energy efficient property it adds up to money saved on energy bills. There is the added sense that they can contribute in a positive way to “green awareness.” Whether they are looking to invest in an older home that has been the beneficiary of an eco-friendly remodel, or one that could just use a bit of “sprucing up”, the availability of tax incentives is also something to consider.
Tax Credits: There are a number of tax credits that second home investors may find valuable such as the weatherization programs tailored towards homeowners that seek to upgrade their homes. Here’s an article from the Environmental News Network these about tax credits ( valid for projects completed through December 31, 2010.)
