Buying Green Homes
This is the next big thing that the housing market is going to get into, well, after the housing market rebounds that is. The slump is still here and no end is in sight so don’t count on it in the near future. The slump doesn’t mean houses are not being sold, its just that they are not meeting industry set levels for them to matter. Green is the next catch-phrase for the industry as we try to mend our ways to less environment impacting technologies, building materials and techniques. You might be surprised to see homes built in the fashion of the early settlers, using straw and either earth or concrete. It works better than concrete and wood and lasts longer. Time would tell when the housing market rebounds and home buyers would have to keep hunkered down so they get to weather the storm, just wish most can afford new homes when the crisis ends so the dream of a green society becomes reality.
