Many home buyers are considering more green features in their current home as well as when they are purchasing or building a home. The reason - lowering costs over the long term, becoming more environmentally friendly, healthier lifestyle for the home owner and potentially for generations to come
Green features focus on energy efficiency, water efficiency, resource efficiency and indoor air quality and include such elements as Energy Star appliances, low-flow shower heads, carpets and paint with low volatile organic compounds, and building materials procured from local suppliers.
The average green buyer will shell out $12,400 - on average - for green features, according to the National Association of Realtors (NAR).
Tax credits and other financial incentives, coupled with green certifications, makes it easier for buyers, builders, and real estate professionals to go green.
