Here at <a title=\"Providence Homes\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Providence Homes<\/a>, we couldn\u2019t agree more!<\/p>\n<p>If you are considering buying a new home, look for a recognized label like <strong><em>Energy Star <\/em><\/strong>or <strong><em>LEED for Homes<\/em><\/strong> that show you \u2013 and future buyers \u2013 exactly how energy-efficient your new home is!<\/p>\n<p>***********<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Better re-sale value? Make it energy-efficient! Make it green!<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Did you know that a home with a green rating or label could bring you almost 10% more in re-sale value?<\/p>\n<p>Multiple studies coming out of the US show that homes with a green rating sell at a premium. In California, on average a green home was selling for 9% more than a comparable home on the market. For example, a non-labeled home selling for $400,000 compares to a labeled home that would sell for $434,800.<\/p>\n<p>These same trends are developing here and in Canada as well. Any reluctance we might have about purchasing an energy efficient new home should be eliminated not only when we consider the ongoing costs savings on utility bills, but also the premium value available when it\u2019s time to sell it.<\/p>\n<p>*<a title=\"Source\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source<\/a>:&nbsp;\u201cThe Value of Green Labels\u201d Nils Kok &amp; Matthew E.
