How do energy efficiency features affect home value?
By Bob Millaway, South Jersey Community Expert & REALTOR®
Energy-efficient features like solar panels, Energy Star appliances, double-pane windows, and upgraded insulation can increase home value by reducing utility costs for buyers. Studies show homes with green certifications or solar panels sell for a premium. The value increase depends on the local market and whether the features are owned or leased. Buyers increasingly prioritize energy efficiency.
Why It Matters
Energy efficiency is a growing priority for buyers. Investing in efficiency can lower your bills now and boost your home's resale value later.
