Can Deep Cove Real Estate Become the Next Green thing?
The Cove always seems (and likely is) greener than the rest
of the world to me. Maybe soon its real estate market will move in that
direction-to the benefit of sellers (and the buyers who end up in green
homes). ?)....I was just reading an article on Green Real Estate (Green
Your Marketing with Eco features, Realtor magazine, Spring
2008). The article noted that the trend has caught on so well
in the USA that green homes are selling faster and for more money, than
non-green homes. In the past, the cost of being environmentally friendly
has been a barrier for some but hopefully this is changing. The article talked
about one green rental project in New York (Solaire) which is able to charge
rents which are 10-15% higher than other building rates. It also noted
that a project in California called Carsten Crossings outsold its competition 2
to 1...that's pretty impressive! Hopefully the same attitude will come to
the Cove in the near future.....and did you know that we have a great
green architect living right here among us in the Cove?????
