According to The Daily Green, greening your home could attract more buyers to your home. Walter Molony, a spokesperson for the National Association of Realtors, said he believes green features may help homeowners stand out from the competition. "People definitely value energy efficiency," Molony said via telephone from the NAR's LEED-certified green office building in Washington, DC. “As utility costs continue to rise, it becomes greater value in people's minds,” he added. “
