Market Impacts of ENERGY STAR\u00ae Qualification for New Homes <\/em><\/strong><\/a>(by William Pflegar, Chuck Perry, Nicholas Hurst and Jeff Tiller), was conducted to demonstrate the benefits of home certifications, and to provide new information on the impact that an ENERGY STAR\u00ae qualification can add to the value of a home beyond just that of monthly energy savings.<\/p>\nThe study proposed 4 specific questions designed to elicit whether ENERGY STAR Homes have a market advantage:<\/p>\n
1. Do ENERGY STAR qualified homes sell for higher prices compared to similar code built homes?
\n2. Do ENERGY STAR qualified homes sell for a greater percentage of their list price compared to similar code-built homes?
\n3. Do ENERGY STAR qualified homes sell for a higher price per square foot compared to similar code-built homes?
\n4. Do ENERGY STAR qualified homes sell faster (fewer days on the market) compared to similar code built homes?<\/p>\n
So what does this mean for the home buyer? The results indicated by this study suggest that ENERGY STAR Homes have a competitive market advantage compared to similar code-built homes<\/em><\/strong>. This multidimensional advantage is substantial enough to suggest to home buyers that the investment in ENERGY STAR certified homes is more than worthwhile.<\/p>\nWe are Jacksonville, Florida’s hometown builder.
