Green homes are selling faster and higher than other real estate
USA Today reports that Green Homes are selling for more and faster than the rest of the real estate market.
A recent report describes green homes are outpacing other traditional homes even in an otherwise slower than usual marketplace. the report tracks home sales from ’07 – ’09 and concludes that in Portland, Oregon, green homes are selling for 12% more than non-certified green homes, and in Seattle, eco-homes are now making up a total of 33% of home sales over the last year.
That’s good news for the latest development in Steamboat Springs, where EcoCorral is making ground as the first sustainable neighborhood certified by Built Green Colorado and built by Energy Star Certified General Contractor KJ Otterman.
