Why are Green Homes So Expensive?

There are many different shades of green that may or may not be expensive.
 
Throughout the Phoenix area, for example, there are many green, Energy Star qualified neighborhoods that have been hit hard by foreclosures and short sales.
 
The result, however, is that prices have dropped to levels equal to other homes in the area that are less efficient and green.
 
On the other hand if you are looking for a home with a 10KW solar electric system on the roof, you may have to pay a bit of a premium when compared to the home to other homes in the neighborhood.
 
The key to determining if a green home is expensive or not lies in your decision to work with a qualified green Realtor that can show you how easy it is to find a green home. Your Realtor should know where green neighborhoods are located and be able to help you find the green options you are looking for in a home, regardless of the neighborhood.
