Increasingly buyers are looking for homes that are airtight and well-insulated with low energy bills and, increasingly, realtors are finding that energy efficiency features positively affect the value of a home. In fact, a 2012 market study by Yahoo! Real Estate shows that 50% of Americans now consider green and energy efficient features a part of their “dream home.”
27% of potential home buyers say that “looking for a greener, more energy efficient home is a significant reason they want a new home.” According to a recent Smart Market Report survey, over 60% of green builders reported that their customers are willing to pay on average 6% more for homes that are energy efficient. A study conducted by Vanderbilt University Law School found that on average buyers were willing to pay 5% more for a green labeled home, provided the green label indicated actual energy savings. More highly-rated houses commanded an even higher premium.
Measures that establish a high degree of energy efficiency, such as those found in renewable energy & zero-energy homes, influence buyers and add to the desirability and price of a home, making them a more valuable asset than similar homes built to code. Recent studies suggest home-sellers offload homes 20% faster than those without solar!
Another reason that zero energy homes are affordable is that they are a positive investment. Not only do they hold their value because they are built to the standards of the future, they have a higher resale value than similar homes built to code. Increasingly buyers are looking for homes that are airtight and well-insulated with low energy bills and, increasingly, realtors are finding that energy efficiency features positively affect the value of a home.
