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

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.
