    This document discusses reasons why green homes sell faster and for more money than non-green homes. It states that buyers and renters choose green properties because they cost less for utilities, are healthier with less toxic materials, feel more comfortable due to better insulation, appear to be built more sturdily, seem to have owners who took better care of them, and allow owners to reduce their environmental impact. The document also notes that green homes have a competitive advantage since no other homes offer the same features. It provides an example of an investment group paying $50,000 over the market value of an $850,000 green home because it was the only property within 50 miles that could be converted to a green kindergarten.

    Why Green Homes

    Sell Faster and for More Cash

    www.JimSimcoe.com
    Reasons why buyers and renters have
    chosen high-performance green
    properties:
    • Cost less money in utility bills.

    • Less toxic, healthier home.

    • Felt more comfortable inside the home (not drafty).

    • Belief the home was built sturdier.

    • Belief the previous owner took better care of the home.

    • Desire to be the cutting-edge home in the neighborhood.

    • Interest in reducing their family’s environmental impact.

    In creating high-performance properties, you create
    a tremendous competitive advantage. Put simply, no
    one else has what you have.

    Example:

    An investment group once paid $50,000 over market


    value for a $850,000 green home because it was the
    only property in a 50 mile radius that could be
    converted to a ‘green’ kindergarten.
