Green Houses sell Faster in San Jose

Green homes in San Jose sell fast from the Mercury News. 7 out of 9 houses offered were sold in a weekend for a new housing development that is green. Wow! And with the rebates they got from the government on adding solar (not mentioned - efficiency of adding solar during building and to multiple units), there was no added cost for adding. Think if they had also added solar water heating (sounds like only photo voltaic was added and the usual insulation, etc. to reduce heat loss).

In a down housing market, this is powerful. I hope other builders are paying attention.
