What makes a property green isn't just having greater insulation and lower energy bills. It also includes water usage, how the home itself makes use of rain water, the kinds of vegetation in and around the property, the construction materials and methods used on the property, alternative sustainable energy resources and more.
Things you can do before putting your home on the market can include simply upgrading appliances, and installing efficient toilets, shower heads and a new efficient furnace.
