 Green homes are focused around energy efficiency resulting in an energy consumption of 40% less than standard homes. Energy efficiency is achieved in many ways. For example, water conservation is achieved through efficient plumbing, low flush toilettes, rain water collection, and water-conserving irrigation. Heating and cooling efficiency is obtained through the use of natural lighting, shading, and ventilation, Energy Star windows and doors as well as energy generation from the sun, wind, or other natural means.
Besides helping your bank account balance and the planet, there are other incentives for going green! Many local and state governments as well as utility companies offer rebates or tax breaks for increasing the energy efficiency of your home. Additionally, insurance companies and mortgage companies are considering offer discounts to green home owners. For all these reasons the market demand for green homes continues to rise. Let me help you be a part of this new trend! Contact me Today!
Making An Offer >Good Faith Deposits
After many months of searching, you have found your ideal house. You are a little older and a little wiser now, so you want to give the impression that you are serious without appearing to be too eager. What should you do? In the marketplace, "money talks."
There is no absolute rule about how much "good-faith" deposit you should put down--but it is a tool to make your point with the seller. The typical $1,000 will hold many homes for you, except in larger-home markets where it may be critical for you to show that you are an especially serious and able buyer. You don't want to make a deposit that is too large in case there is a problem getting your money back, but if your offer is substantially below the asking price, a larger deposit--$5,000 or $10,000--might influence the seller.
If you make a low deposit with your offer, be sure to provide for an increased deposit when the offer is accepted or upon removal of the contingencies.
