Yet another news article has surfaced that describes what New Home Buyers are looking for. But this time the information is coming from a builder, not a survey. Survey results are great, don't get me wrong, but what consumers are actually buying is a different set of data.
New Home Buyers Want Safety and Energy Efficiency so says CR Herro. "Mr. Herro says builders must move to reset customers’ expectations, letting them know they can have the latest in construction technology, from energy efficiency to protections from Fire and Flood aka Safety." (Living Trade News.) Kudos to CR in his tireless to promote living in healthy, energy efficient homes, New Home Buyers Want Safety and Energy Efficiency.
Coincidentally, Meritage homes was named Energy Star Partner of the Year - congrats to them!

At least in Arizona builders have been paying attention because we are #1 per Market Share in the US for Energy Efficiency production built homes. Bragging rights if you ask me.
