VALUE RETENTION   Green design and construction provides a home that is solid through time. A home that is strong is one an owner will want to stay in and want to maintain.   The energy and water use savings you enjoy year after year give you an unmatched advantage if you ever want to sell your home.   What home-buyer wouldn’t want those lower monthly bills, that are part of the home! Resale value is higher, and sale is faster.     You know the example of Home-related Monthly Expenses: One can’t live in a home without power and water and sewer. They are part of the home expense package, just as much as rent or mortgage payment. We provide lower water/sewer bills and we guarantee annualized cost of cooling and heating to a maximum dollar amount, specific to each home.                            Hypothetical Example:  Think Green Home   Conventional Home     PITI 1,200   1,020 Electric 105   322 Water/sewer 29   57         Total 1,324   1,399   It is less costly, FROM MONTH ONE, to live in a Think Green Home and it only gets better every year, as water and energy costs increase.
