Very good article for property owners who embrace green-friendly options in their homes and that they often see a return on their investment, especially since Texas buyers are interested in environmentally friendly property features. Among home buyer respondents, 49% said that heating and cooling costs were “very important” environmentally friendly options in the homes that they purchased. Energy-efficient appliances and energy-efficient lighting were also key features, with 30% responding that these were “very important.”
A common concern about creating a greener home is its cost effectiveness. Even small, inexpensive steps can increase a property’s energy efficiency, including:
- Replacing latches on windows and doors that don’t shut all the way
- Replacing weather stripping
- Using compact fluorescent light bulbs
- Replacing faucets and showerheads with low-flow options
Sellers that make these upgrades means they can promote these additions while selling their home and attract buyers who are looking for greener options.
