Each buyer has their own set of values and preferences. And as a seller, sometimes it can be hard to differentiate your house from all the similar houses in the subdivision.

One area that most sellers ignore could be an opportunity for you to catch the eye of a “green” oriented buyer.

The following “green” checklist is used by appropriate inspectors to evaluate how green your house is and whether it might qualify for green certification.

Even if you choose not to go through the certification process you might want to point out the various green features your home has.

Much of the modern green technology is overpaid. Nest, insulation under the floor, solar lease etc. I always include a utility bill as bottom line to show the truth of all these feaatures. If your utility bill is a mere 30-40 dollars a month does it make sense even to install solar or make California homes have R30 rating insulation?

Interesting list. I saved a copy of the pdf to do my own "inspection" and see my grade.

We put a lot of green features in last year when we built. We are loving our utility bills which are about half of our last house.
