Selling Green: Real Estate Preferences

Energy efficiency is a desirable home feature

"Ninety-two percent of all home buyers consider energy efficiency at least somewhat important with 46 percent ranking it as very important when considering a home for purchase."

From the National Association of REALTORS®:

With energy costs rising, the strain on the pocketbook
has resulted in awareness of environmental
concerns and intensified the importance of energy
efficiency. Increasingly, consumers’ preferences for
products and services reflect this awareness, even
extending to those looking to purchase a home. A
recent survey of home buyers by NAR Research
shows just how important energy efficiency is for
many home buyers.
