Eco-Friendly, Energy-Efficient Homes Attract Buyers

 

NAR shows 48% of agents or brokers have noticed consumers are interested in sustainability. If you want to upgrade your house in a way that maximizes its green appeal, you need to work with a local agent to understand what buyers in your area are looking for. The same NAR report identifies the following green home features as most important to buyers at a national level:

Windows, doors, and siding

Proximity to frequently visited places

A comfortable living space

A home’s utility bills and operating costs

While you can’t change the location of your house, you can take action to make sure it’s as comfortable as possible while also setting up the next owners for lower operating costs. ENERGY STAR shares some suggested upgrades as ones that may be worth considering:

Heating and cooling

Water heater

Smart thermostat

Attic insulation

Energy-efficient windows

It's worth noting that you may be able to take advantage of tax credits and rebates for energy-efficient home installations and upgrades. These incentives could help offset a portion of the costs associated with eco-friendly home improvements.

Focusing on energy efficiency and eco-friendly features can help make your house more appealing to buyers today. DM me to ensure you’re choosing the right upgrades for our area.
