I have an article to share with you that was sent to me by a local lender: Are a home’s green features being properly valued during the sale process? A panel of industry experts attempted to answer this important question at the recent 2019 Builder Show in Las Vegas. 1 The key takeaways: Studies have shown that properties with green features fetch 2%–5% more than comparable homes without energy-saving components.
