Energy-Efficient Home=Faster Sale

The real estate market will see brief-but-welcome upswing in sales due to appliance upgrades and a turn to "Energy Efficiency".
RSMedia Reports that:
Congress passed a $300 million stimulus program which offers rebates to buyers of more energy-efficient appliances and other products with the Energy Star label. These are products with a 10 to 30% more energy efficient than comparable products.
Note to Sellers:
Provide your Utility Usage Sheet at showings.
Note to Buyers: Take heed. If you buy a house that needs udating, check on the cash-for-clunker-appliance program before you upgrade.
