Buyers
When you are looking to buy a home consider buying a home that is classified as a green home. Yes, the main benefit of buying green is that it is better for the environment. But there are so many other benefits that people aren’t aware of:
- It’s cost efficient, your energy bills could be lower
- For those who suffer from allergies, green homes tend to have a more efficient air filtration system
- They are built to last mainly because homes like this want to have a lesser impact on the
environment. This could translate to lower maintenance costs.
- In some instances you may qualify for government incentives
Sellers
There are sellers don’t realize that their homes are classified as green and even though the listing price may not increase when you are trying to sell - it can become a great selling incentive for those looking to buy a new home for all the reason’s mentioned above.
For a seller this means that their home will be in higher demand and therefore can sell quicker. Having a knowledgeable agent ensures that this is being properly communicated to buyers. Newer homes or recently renovated homes may already be green and the right agent can verify that for you.
