homebuyers seeing green

Nine out of 10 homebuyers say they want environmentally friendly homes and are willing to pay more for green features, according to the National Association of Realtors.

Features homebuyers find important are:

90% Reduced heating and cooling costs

73% Energy-efficient appliances

70% Energy-efficient lighting

51% Environmentally friendly community

49% Green landscaping

The National Association of Realtors has responded with the establishment of a local green designation to train residential agents in green home sales. I'll be expanding on my EcoBroker training by participating in this course next week.
