Do Green Homes Sell Faster?


Community of “Net Zero” energy green homes makes 2 sales the first weekend open. The community of North Pointe by Nexus Energy Homes located in downtown Frederick, MD will be opening on Fri the 17th of June 2011. Two weeks before hand a relatively unpublicized open house was held for the purposes training the sales staff prior to the model home opening. It was quite a surprise when 2 homes were sold that weekend.

This should make you question if extremely energy efficient homes are not subject to the same market conditions as the rest of the region. The community of North Pointe by Nexus Energy Homes starts at $264,900 for a 3br 2.5bath town home with off street parking. After tax credits and low or no utility bills the real cost of ownership is estimated to me in the $230,455 range, well below the RCOO (real cost of ownership) of a comparably sized resale in the area.

These homes are super insolated with SIP’s construction, powered by solar, geothermal and a TRV system. Learn more about North Pointe or Nexus Energy Homes or contact a Nexus New Homes sales rep today.

“Net Zero” energy home built on ABC’s Extreme Makeover Home Edition 2/13/11


“Net Zero” energy home built on ABC’s Extreme Makeover Home Edition 2/13/11

On Feb 13th 2011 popular the ABC program Extreme Makeover Home Edition built the first “Net Zero” energy home to be featured on this program. I think this is a big step in the awareness of the long term cost savings of owning a “Net Zero” energy home. It is the goal of ABC to help deserving families in need. A “Net Zero” energy home will help the Hurston family save every year by eliminating the cost of power.

Now extreme makeover home edition has the funding to build a beautiful “Net Zero” energy home but if you’re the average homebuyer considering building a new home and want to be energy conscious you should consider Nexus Energy Homes based in Annapolis MD.

Nexus Energy Homes is one of the nation’s leaders in “Net Zero” energy, carbon neutral homes construction. They have several communities in the Maryland and Northern Virginia area and will build a custom home on the lot of your choice.

I have found it astonishing the Nexus Energy Homes is able to build a “Net Zero” energy, Green home at the same cost or in many cases for less them that of the average home builder. For more information on Nexus Energy Homes visit their web site at www.NexusEnergyHomes.com or view two of their newest communities at www.HomesAtNorthPointe.com and www.HomesAtOspreyPointe.com

As a Realtor in the Maryland area that has an interest in sustainable development I am writing this because I think Nexus Energy Homes has got the right idea and I would like see them succeed. They are one of the few home builders that have a viable business model for the 21st century that is also good for the long term heath or our economy and the environment.

New Home Builder in Maryland

Considering building a new home? In my opinion a new Maryland home builder has changed the world of new homes construction forever. Nexus Energy Homes has done the imposable and made energy independent green homes a reality at prices that are at or below conventional builders. Nexus uses a verity of proven technologies in unison for the first time has enabled Nexus build a “next zero” energy green home at an unheard of $110 to $150 per sq.ft.

When most people think green homes and solar panels the think of an ultra contemporary dome shaped homes made of concrete. In reality Nexus is able to build a home of his type that can fit in to any neighborhood. Construction has just been started on 55 row homes the fit seamlessly in to the Downtown Frederick Real Estate market located in a historic district.

I’m writing this because for the first time the technologies exist at affordable prices allowing us build homes the produce as much energy as the use. I’m a Realtor that had a custom home buyer that I brought to Nexus. To my surprise the price they quoted was the cheapest of 3 bids my buyer received. On top of that these home buyers will be receiving a government tax credit of $23,000 for buying a Nexus Energy home and they will never have a power bill.

I have sold hundreds of homes and meet dozens of new homes builders over the years and I have never come across a product anything close to what Nexus Energy Homes offers. If you are even thinking of building a new home in the Maryland, DC, Northern Virginia, Southern Pennsylvania or Eastern Delaware area you owe it to your self your pocket book and the environment to look in to a Nexus home.

The can build any shape any size and any style. If you want some more info just e mail me and I have a full brochure I will send you.
