Residential buyers to pay more premium for green buildings

According to a recent report, residential buyers are showing a notable inclination to pay a premium of 5-10% for green buildings. This trend underscores a growing awareness and preference for environmentally sustainable housing options among consumers.

The study highlights a shifting mindset among homebuyers, who are increasingly prioritising sustainability and energy efficiency when making purchasing decisions. Green buildings, which are designed to minimise environmental impact and maximise resource efficiency, are becoming increasingly attractive to discerning buyers seeking eco-friendly living spaces.

The willingness of residential buyers to pay a premium for green buildings reflects their recognition of the long-term benefits associated with sustainable living. These benefits include lower utility costs, improved indoor air quality, and reduced environmental footprint, contributing to both personal well-being and environmental conservation.

Furthermore, the report suggests that the demand for green buildings is expected to continue growing as awareness of environmental issues and climate change increases. Developers who prioritise sustainability in their projects are likely to attract a larger pool of environmentally conscious buyers and differentiate themselves in the competitive real estate market.

As sustainability becomes a key consideration in the housing sector, stakeholders anticipate greater emphasis on green building practices and certifications. Developers and policymakers are expected to collaborate to promote sustainable urban development and meet the evolving needs and preferences of homebuyers seeking greener living options.

Overall, the report's findings underscore the growing importance of sustainability in the residential real estate market and highlight the significant role that green buildings play in meeting the demand for environmentally responsible housing solutions.
