Energy Rating For Homes For Sale Is Now Listed In FMLS

Do you want to sell your green home? Are you interested in buying a green home?
The FMLS, the multiple listing used by real estate agents and home buyers now lists the Energy Star rating and HERS (Home Energy Rater) ratings. Potential home buyers can do a “green” search for energy saving features and can find out how much energy a home uses for heating and cooling.
Green Home Buyers: Check with your real estate agent if s/he is familar with this feature and ask to be only shown green homes.
Green Home Seller: Make sure your real estate agent prominently advertises the green features of your home. If you don’t have it yet, get your home inspected and rated by a HERS rater.
This addition of green features to the FMLS listings refelects a trend that is becoming stronger and stronger. Fuel prices and home owners awareness and understanding of the benefits of living in a green and sustainable home are increasing. The demand for green homes, using less energy than a standard home, will increase dramatically in the next years.
So when you are considering remodeling or renovating your home, think also about the increase in home value and how it will be easier for you to sell your green and sustainable home in the future.
