THE EFFECTS OF GREEN FEATURES ON HOUSE VALUES TODAY
Green building energy efficiency features are on the rise. More homebuyers are elevating the value of these amenities to a preferred status. Some see the hand writing on the wall in regard to water, electricity, heating and cooling.
Others see green features in relation to a reduction of homeownership costs such
as a lower electricity bill each month. At any rate, homebuyers are seeing
more value in green house features being incorporated into the house they are building or which are present in an existing house being considered for purchase.
More cities hopefully will offer tax considerations as the green house effect takes root in the housing industry and the importance of various forms of energy conservation grow. Protecting the environment and lowering the cost of homeownership will be driving forces in bringing the above items to fruition.

Apr. 14, 2008 - Why Use A Realtor? |

WHY USE A REALTOR?
This Spring has certainly brought out not only flowers, but also a lot of lookers into the real estate market. Never before have so many questions been asked regarding the economy, the housing market and re-sale values, etc.
Over and over, there is talk about real estate being "local" – national numbers don’t seem to make sense for a person who is buying or selling in a specific local market. So what can you do?
If you're thinking of selling, call your local professional REALTOR who is knowledgeable about the subdivision that you are interested in early in the thinking process. REALTORS know what’s happening in your specific area and can tell you the real story on numbers of sales and days on the market. REALTORS can even give you specific advice on upgrading or staging your house to sell. Pricing is the major element in a speedy sale and your REALTOR is the person who can help guide you.
Buyers also need to know the lay of the land. While the national news might be screaming that it’s a “buyers’ market” – that’s not ALWAYS true. Again, your local REALTOR can help you get the information you need in order to decide when and where you want to buy. There is a lot more to finalizing a successful purchase than just searching the internet and finding a home that looks good online. So, make sure you talk to a REALTOR who can help you complete the purchase and move right in!
