If
you’re thinking about putting in a wine cellar or installing an elevator in
your house, you may want to reconsider.
But if
Energy Star windows or a laundry room are on your to-do list, go ahead and put
them in.
That’s
according to findings from the National Association of Homebuilders’ What
Home Buyers Really Want, a publication that looks at what tops home
buyers’ most (http://bit.ly/2Ht6apo) and least wanted lists.
The
survey asked recent and prospective buyers about home and community features
and asked them to rank features as essential/must have, desirable, indifferent,
and do not want.
It
does give the green light on making green upgrades.
Energy
Star-rated windows, Energy Star-rated appliances, and the Energy Star rating
for the whole home came in in first, second and third place, respectively, on
respondents’ Top Most Wanted Green Features (http://bit.ly/2QfHjrH). Also
on that list are efficient lighting, triple-pane insulating glass windows,
insulation higher than required by code, and water-conserving toilets.
