Florida Appraiser Finds Higher Value in ENERGY STAR HomesKarl E. Sayles of Darty Appraisal Service of Melrose, Florida reports that he has found that certification of ENERGY STAR in Gainesville, Florida nets an additional $4,000 in value of a home’s appraisal. This high added value was attributed to the fact that the appraisal involved the same model of the same home in the same area. This reduced many variables in the analysis. The value was also added because the energy rating determined that the ENERGY STAR upgrade would save approximately $40 per month in utility costs while adding only $20 per month in added mortgage costs. The home that received the appraisal pump was 1,550 square feet. Click on Darty Appraisal Service to view letter explaining the added value of ENERGY STAR rated homes. |
