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.
