Experts in the Florida real estate market report a surge of interest in energy efficient residential units. However, there is a flip side to this trend: many buyers cannot afford such homes because they cost more. “Green” housing is quite expensive compared to regular options, which is why its owners can expect a greater demand from tenants.
The sustainable development concept keeps playing an increasingly important role in decision-making regarding purchase and sales of housing, and this trend is picking up steam in the Florida real estate market. Specifically, the interest in eco-friendly features, such as solar panels and energy efficient construction materials, is growing rapidly in the market of residential units.
Other popular items are smart thermostats that can automatically adjust indoor temperature depending on whether anyone is at home; tankless water heaters that provide facilities with hot water; and water-saving shower heads.
