Green Real Estate Sales Data

I am struck by the lack of transparency that the Real Estate Industry has in getting trackable information about sales, especially green real estate sales.  I have been looking everywhere for information, while circling back to Green Works Realty's site.

   Over the past 2 years, Green Works Realty has been publishing sales information for tracked Environmentally Certified Homes throughout King County and Seattle.  The data is amazing!

This shows that there has been a increase of nearly 40% price on Green Certified projects. This is really astounding.

This graph shows how the market is really fluctuating these days.  The current market is fairly slow to pick up on Green Building Certification Systems, but with the addition of the checkboxes in the MLS (Green Works Founder - Ben Kaufman pushed to have them added a couple years ago) has given the tools for the Real Estate industry to track these sales.

There is not much information out there about Green Real Estate at this time.  If you are interested in seeing the report that Green Works has put out, click here.
