GREEN Construction in $250-$300K Range

Asheville's Green-Built  Homes in the Mid Range ($250-300K) retain their value into the future because buyers appreciate the quality of construction, that there will be fewer maintenance issues, and that the demand for such sustainable innovation in low -impact, high performance homes is high.

Currently, there are five (5) WNC Healthy® Built Homes for sale in Asheville. See my earlier post for five(5) more such homes in the “affordable housing” price range.  Here is a breakdown by Price and Living Space

(ask me for details about the features and benefits of this type of construction.)

 

NOTE: Of particular interest to Eco-Friendly buyers in the Asheville real estate market is the involvement of the  WNC Green Building Council (WNCGBC) and the Asheville Home Builder Association

 

P.S.  The City of Asheville recently has presented two (2) newly enacted sustainable development incentives that promote affordable housing and green building.  These innovative tools allow for increased density of units and economic incentives including reduced permit fees and property taxes. Please do feel free to contact me to learn about these powerful local development incentives.

Hello JaneAnne,

Great homes! I saw them on TV one time... It is the way to go right now. They are not that popular here, in New England, yet... Hope people will show more interest to built green homes soon.
Have a great day!

janeAnne - It is wonderful to see that green building is still going strong.  We are not having much in the way of new construction farther west of you but I am sure it will turn around soon!

Hi janeAnne!   I thought the cost to purchase a green home would be more expensive.   I would think the demand is high!

The NAR GREEN Designation is gaining momentum. You may look into that in your neck o' the woods. It could be helpful for you and our colleagues to get the word out on the features and BENEFITS of a green-built home...and that includes Green Rehabs!

Hi Bill and Cyndi~

SO good to hear from you. I am so fond of your area! I can imagine the positive effects of an eco-friendly builder coming there...I wonder what cost of construction per sq ft is...

Thanks. Asheville is on the leading edge of sustainable innovation...and has been for a number of years.  I would add this (and our great locally-grown and harvested organic food) to the list of Top 10 Reasons Asheville is on the Top 10 List of wonderful cities in which to live ...
