Valuation of Green attributes

Profile picture for lorrainedamico
Please add a section about valuation and comps of green homes. Our total utility bill for the last month was $11, where as my neighbors bill nears $900. Comparing to conventional properties really drives the Zillow value down for my property.

A home with low utility costs is a big positive for a buyer who is looking to manage the total cost of their housing over the long run. I would push the appraisal community to start better taking into account green homes such as yours which offer very low legacy and long running costs.

Valuation you speak of is not quantifiable on formal appraisals let alone Zestimates, so I wouldnt hold my breath. Way too many variables. Though once green homes are in demand as much as homes with other amentieis, such as pools, views, etc, a standard may one day be created. . . .

Good article on it here. . . .
