Everyone is becoming more concerned with saving money on their utility bills each month. We all have different reasons for doing so- some of us simply like the extra money every month, while others like the positive environmental impact energy saving measures provide.
Whatever our reasons are, I am so pleased to see that more and more people are finally waking up and seeing that a change is necessary.
An interesting take on the idea is how much extra you could afford every month on a mortgage when you reduce your bills. For every $100 you save on energy bills, you can spend $20,000 more dollars on your mortgage (pending bank approval of course!). When I sell an energy efficient home I highlight the low energy costs and the annual savings a potential buyer will see by buying your eco-friendly home. Does this mean that for every $100 you reduce your bills you will increase your selling cost? I would imagine if your home is marketed appropriately and the savings are properly highlighted then the answer to that is an absolute yes.
Contact me for a personal assessment of your home if you are interested in things you can do to reduce your utility bills and increase your selling costs.
