If you live in a “green” real estate market that’s popular with millennials, investing in your home’s green appeal and getting green certified may help you sell for more money. The DiMora Team are real estate experts in the Northville and Novi neighborhoods and we know that some areas of the country saw green home values increase between 2-6%. Other studies suggest green homes sell for up to 7% more. Getting green certified may also help your home sell faster, too, because its benefits will attract more buyers. Not only do energy efficiency measures save money for buyers on their future utility bills, some lenders actually offer lower interest rates on green building certified homes. While there are a number of third-party green certification options out there, getting LEED certified adds the most value as it is the most reputable and recognized. However, modifying an existing home to meet LEED standards is both costly and complex. Check out below to see what sold in Country Club Village in November 2021:

In fact, obtaining LEED certification on an existing home often isn’t possible without gutting your home and rebuilding it with an LEED certified contractor—which is impractical if you plan on selling soon.
