green multiple listing systems spreading

The largest multiple listing system in the country is in process of being greened. Why is this good news? That system covers several east coast states. Now we have greened MLS's on both coasts. Things tend to spread from the coasts to the rest of the country. To the average person that sells a house that will mean improvements made to a house to make it more energy efficient will be given a value. It will also mean buyers can see if the houses have things about it that decrease the energy needs and costs of running the house.

In the past houses were given value based on location and how fixed up they were. Now there will be a new factor, what has been done to it to make it more cost effective to run. Appraisers will have to come up with what the value is for the stand alone items. That is good news!

It could eventually lead to national loans that are available everywhere that take into account the energy efficiency of the house....
