The question is if buyers in your market are really willing to spend more for energy star rated homes. I think if anything it would increase marketability, but maybe not a significant value. I recently studied a similar situation with geothermal heat pumps. The difference in value was not worth the additional expense, but the energy savings were. So it was concluded that the only real benefit is if you plan on living in the property long term to make the savings exceed the additional costs initially. _________________ Benjamin Smith Atlanta Area Appraiser

But I could be wrong, this is just my opinion. This economy is hard right now and some add ons aren't as good as others.

I wish that could be said for all those who feel the need to be heard. And, yes, I suppose you could chastise me for being critical of others, but I'm sold out on the idea of being a benefit to the people who post their queries and not just looking to show off my literary skills. _________________ George M.
