A Demand for Green Real Estate
A growing share of today’s consumers want to live a greener lifestyle, not only because they want to be environmentally-responsible, but also because they seek the associated money-saving benefits. As a result, the availability of green amenities has become a key decision-making factor for home buyers.
Seventy percent of homebuyers are more inclined to buy a green home over a conventional home in a down economy -
according to McGraw-Hill Construction's 2008 SmartMarket Report, "The Green Home Consumer."
Two-thirds of buyers are paying attention to green homes and buildings; they recognize the link between green properties, cost savings, and healthy living -
revealed in the 2007 SmartMarket Report.
While the demand for eco-friendly real estate grows, the opportunity for green condo association management follows. Still, many buildings are not prepared to offer the full array of green property management services required to attract this escalating number of eco-conscience home buyers.
At TriView Condo Association Management, we are dedicated to providing management services that are based on sustainable measures. We understand that, in addition to reducing the amount of money spent on consumables and offering valuable tax deductions, green condo association management makes properties more attractive to home buyers who are sustainable-minded. In addition, such eco-friendly property management practices can help to improve the health and comfort of your building’s residents, resulting in an improved bottom line for you as well as more satisfied home buyers.
