"Third party verified new homes with an environmental certification in the City of Seattle sell for 22% more per square foot in 12% less time." GreenWorks Realty.

This is big news for those of us involved in new home construction and sustainable practices. Until now, our clients simply had to believe in green construction and be willing to spend the extra cost without any promise of added resale value. We still need to push for the proper training of our local appraisers and realtors in order for these statistics to infiltrate the rest of our state.
