Green Homes Attractive to Buyers
(ARA) - Home buyers of all income levels are looking for environmentally friendly properties, according to a study taken by the U.S. Green Building Council and McGraw-Hill Construction.
And in the difficult housing market of today, sellers are looking for new ways to attract buyers. Making a home greener with cleaner air quality may just be the answer to getting bids.
Homeowners can use the following tips to make their house more environmentally friendly:
* Buy appliances that use less water and electricity.
Many companies sell appliances like washing machines and dishwashers which use 10 to 15 percent less energy and water than standard models.
* Use environmentally friendly flooring.
Globus Cork offers cork flooring in 37 different colors which not only helps to maintain a constant air temperature in the room thanks to its natural thermal insulation properties, but also is a renewable resource. This is because only the cork bark is trimmed from the tree and the cork oak trees continue living. In addition, cork has a waxy substance called suberin, which repels bugs, mold, mites and even termites, keeping allergens at bay. Go to www.CorkFloor.com to learn more about the product.
* Keep inside air from escaping.
Seals around windows and doors can break or be damaged over time and need to be replaced. With just a few changes or upgrades, a house that has been sitting on the market for some time can become a quick sell thanks to its environmentally friendly features.
