In the last four to five years, there’s been a growing demand for green housing,” says Tom Ferstl, a commercial and residential real estate appraiser at Ferstl Valuation Services in Little Rock, Arkansas. “Making your home more energy efficient is a plus—anything that helps keep heat in during the colder months and out during the warmer months will help.
You can start off by making small changes to turn your home into a green home. These changes could be as simple as switching off lights when not in the room, adding a ceiling fan instead of using an air conditioner, don’t use water excessively, the list goes on and on.
