These alternatives soak up just half the water a conventional toilet uses. Multisetting showerheads, water-efficient faucets and dishwashers, as well as tankless water heaters all offer easy ways to shell off wasted gallons.

When it comes to landscaping consumers can explore smart watering systems like Iro. This product features a Wi-Fi-connected sprinkler system that schedules watering around the resident’s geography and weather.

While these smart heating and cooling systems stack benefits, it’s imperative to have double-paned, water-stripped windows to retain desired temperatures throughout the home. Single-paned windows can release up to 25% of the home’s air, raising the AC bill during hotter months.

Whether you’re incorporating just one or multiple eco-minded alternatives, the benefits generally speak for themselves. Discuss rates and options with your local solar, appliance, and HVAC professional for further information.

Since You Asked...

THIS IS A GREAT TIME TO SELL AND BUY!

Question: I’m afraid to sell my home before I find another home to buy, but I’ve been told that contingent offers aren’t being accepted in this market. Is that true?

Answer: That is the perception but certainly not true!

The inventory of homes for sale is quite low right now, and that provides a great opportunity for you as a seller. However, the tables are turned when you become a buyer. I helped two buyers recently whose offers were accepted subject to them selling their current homes. Just like you, these buyers were afraid their home would sell before they could find a new home, so we created a customized plan to achieve their goal.

If you really want to make a move, consider placing your home on the market subject to finding a suitable replacement home.

Once you have a buyer in contract, make the offer on your new home contingent on the close of escrow of your current home.

This is usually much less stressful than finding your dream home first and then trying to find a buyer. Another option is to ask your buyer to allow you to remain in your home up to 60 days after escrow closes while you continue your home search.

Whatever path you choose, be sure to work with an experienced agent that knows how to negotiate this type of transaction.

A customized approach unique to your needs will make your move a joyful and exciting experience.

If you find yourself in this situation, feel free to contact me.

I will assist you in determining the best plan for your next move.
