Thinking About Buying Green?

2797204528 5f1b423268 m Thinking About Buying Green?Ever wonder if buying a green home is a sound financial investment?  A recent article in the Seattle Times discusses recent statistics and the benefits of buying a green home.  It cites a study by GreenWorks Realty which reviewed the NWMLS King County condominium sales from September 2007 – May 2008 and included only new construction built in 2007 and after.  The statistics reflect that 18.7% of condominiums bought during this period were environmentally certified.  When priced per square foot, these green condominium homes were 28% more valuable than non-classified homes.  A green home may be classified by LEED, Built Green, Energy Star or another 3rd Party classification.   Check out the article regarding green homes and condominums…Buying Green.

In addition to this article, I thought I would highlight a few environmentally certified new construction projects and those under construction seeking some form of green building classification:
