Atlanta real estate market for green houses

[Account Closed]

Hi all,

I've been hearing that many renters are not willing to pay more for properties with sustainable appliances and materials, but mainly consider the cost saving benefits in terms of utility use. So my question is, is this trend also the case in Atlanta? It seems there is a growing movement headed towards this direction in Atlanta, but I don't know for sure nor do I have the numbers to back up this claim. Is there a demand for green homes in this area? Is there a local group of REIs that incorporate this into their business model that anyone knows of? Thanks
