Environmentally-friendly New Providence associate weighs in on latest in “eco-housing”
NEW PROVIDENCE, NJ (October 20, 2008) – According to Prudential New Jersey Properties’ associate John Carroll, homes that are environmentally friendly and energy efficient sell 18 percent more quickly than the average home, and for up to 25 percent higher value.
“Green homes are the newest trend in the real estate market, and they are here to stay,” says Carroll. “Today’s buyers are looking for properties with household items that are energy efficient and potentially reduce the costs of utilities while providing a higher standard of indoor air quality.”
Carroll – who is a certified EcoBroker, a program administered by the Association of Energy and Environmental Real Estate Professionals – has worked with buyers and sellers throughout Union County select environmentally-friendly housing options. He specializes in federal and state eco programs, as well as green building certifications.
“There are government-backed mortgage programs available to buyers looking to purchase a home with green utilities that improve the efficiency of the heating and air conditioning systems,” says Carroll. “On the flip side, sellers also have access to discounted loan and rebate programs that provide assistance in buying and installing these appliances, and can typically sell their home quickly.”
Several councils have developed their own rating systems to certify green housing, include the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED), which has its Green Building Rating System™. Requirements are dependent on a variety of factors and are tailored for new construction, existing buildings, commercial interior, schools, retail, and healthcare.
“A great way to give a home a green makeover is by replacing old appliances with ENERGY STAR qualified products,” says Carroll. “You can even reduce your carbon footprint – and monthly bills –simply by switching to compact fluorescent light bulbs, from incandescent.”
More information on eco-friendly real estate is available by contacting Carroll at the New Providence office, 1260 Springfield Avenue, 908-464-5200.
