Trends: City Greening These Energy Efficient Cities Could Help You Save Money on Utilities and Home Upgrades If you live in Boston, Portland (Ore.), New York City, San Francisco, Seattle or Austin (Texas), you’re residing in one of our nation’s greenest cities, a new report by the American Council for an Energy Efficient Economy says. The ACEEE’s first ever Energy Efficiency Scorecard analyzed the country’s 34 most populous cities. Boston took the top spot with 76.75 points out of a total 100. The top-scoring city was not the leader in all five policy areas, says Eric Mackres, one of the report’s authors. A number of cities were high scoring in more than one category. “I think it’s an exciting time with a

lot going on at the local level with cities adopting policies, programs and initiatives around energy efficiency,” Mackres says. Based upon five criteria (local government operations, community-wide initiatives, buildings policies, energy and water utilities and transportation policies), the report scored cities on a number of metrics within each policy area. Overall scores were gathered from each city’s five policy area scores. The report divided cities into six tiers of those with similar scores. The cities that have the most potential to rise in the rankings are those found in the second tier (Washington, D.C.; Minneapolis, Minn.; Chicago; Philadelphia and Denver), accord-

ing to Mackres. “Those are the up-and-comers that maybe don’t have as much of a historical track record in doing a lot on energy efficiency, but have really taken to it over the past decade or less and are making significant progress by launching a lot of new policies,” he says. If you’re looking to buy a home, new programs may help you to estimate future utility costs. “These disclosure policies are attempting to fill that information gap and make it easier for folks in the real estate market to understand what their costs are going to be related to energy,” Mackres says.

A recent analysis by real estate website Redfin.com shows that homes located in above average school districts have higher value. That’s no surprise; with the cost of education skyrocketing, it stands to reason that parents are willing to pay a steep premium for their children to enroll in top-rated public schools. However, Redfin’s data, pulled from MLS data of homes sold in May, June and July 2013, also sheds light on the degree to which school district affects home price and what homebuyers can do about it. Redfin data show that even when comparing similar size and quality homes in nearby neighborhoods, people still pay $50 more per square foot for homes in top-ranked school districts than average-ranked school districts. One such example is Alexandra, Va., where a house in the high-rated Waynewood school zone sold for $130,000 more than a nearly identical home, which is less than a mile away but located within the low-rated Belle View school zone. School district also makes a big difference in Beaverton, Ore., just outside of Portland, where many families come for high profile jobs at Nike, Intel or elsewhere in its high-tech “Silicon Forest.” Bob Ulery, a real estate agent for Hasson Company, based in northwest Portland, Ore., recently worked with a family that lived in an apartment for seven months while they waited to buy a home, determined to enroll their child in top-ranking Findley Elementary. The home they eventually purchased sold in 24 hours with six offers, at $20,000 over its list price. “[Demand for quality schools] feeds this competition for these houses, and that goes to price,” Ulery says. “It’s

A Home That Makes the Grade just the law of supply and demand. Demand is huge and the supply is limited; price goes up.” The real estate market in San Diego is also competitive, and school districts play a big role, But Linda Lee, president of the Greater San Diego Association of Realtors, says that homebuyers without school-aged children are more likely to be influenced by lifestyle. She says that older buyers are more concerned about where they’d like to live geographically, whether that is near the ocean, in the mountains, or near a city. Ulery adds that “empty nester” buyers can still care about the value of the schools in their area because of their resale value. So what can you do if you’re searching for a home in one of these high-demand areas? Redfin’s report specifies some high-performing school districts where median home prices are low compared to other desirable school districts. For instance, Mortensen Elementary School in Littleton, Colo., is a strong school located in a district where homes are priced 58 percent lower than the nearby topperforming school district. Similarly, McKay Elementary School in Beaverton, Ore., is located in a district with more affordable schools than Findley Elementary. “It’s a very good school. It’s pulling from an older suburban part of town with a very broad mixture of small inexpensive homes and big expensive homes,” Ulery says. “There’s certainly not a one-toone correlation between schools and home prices,” he adds. Other factors November 8, 2013

include “access to freeways, nearby shopping, quality of environment.” For those who insist on home shopping in those ultra-competitive school districts, “We just have to be ready to buy,” Joan Probala tells her clients in Seattle, where people pay up to a 10 percent premium to live near good schools. “We can’t wait. The day you see it, you have to write the offer and look at the price realistically because that’s what it’s going to sell for.” Of course, being ready to buy a house means you must have your financing in order, including preapproval from your lender. “Sometimes it’s not the perfect house that they want, and that’s fine with them as long as they can get into that school district,” she says. Don’t expect the seller to negotiate much on the price if you’re buying in an area where there is high demand among schools. “If it’s a good house and it’s something that you really want, then you have to be prepared to pay,” Probala says.
