It’s not a secret that the demand for environmentally friendly goods and services continues to grow. But, going green isn’t just trendy; it’s necessary for the sake of the earth’s future. Fortunately, more and more homeowners are investing in green technology for their homes. Because more homes have efficient appliances and energy saving resources, and such upgrades are highly desirable, the National Association of Realtors is striving to ensure that home sellers can showcase this information when they list their home.
Specifically, the National Association of Realtors has created a guide to help multiple listing services incorporate fields that will allow sellers to include their home’s unique green features. The guide aims to show the multiple listing services how to implement green data entry fields. Hopefully, by standardizing this information and including these fields as part of the listing description, it will bring even more awareness to the many amazing green resources that are currently available. The inclusion of this data will also help monitor trends for green homes. Even now, many listings incorporate information about a home’s utilities and energy costs. Recent research has actually shown that listing a home’s energy costs can speed up the sale of the home because it paints a clearer picture of the overall cost of owning that particular home.
