7 places you should be checking around your home - MSN Real Estate

Home owners you want to review this link and read the information.  Love your home? Home maintenance will reward you in many ways.
1) It will help to maintain your home's neighborhood market value.
2) It will reward you with quality healthy living by addressing water, air, mold issues that can deteriorate the structure and building envelope.
3) It will help you save money from costly deferred maintenance issues that will increase without immediate attention.
4) The investment of a Energy Audit by a qualified certified HERS or BPI Energy Consultant will show you how to improve the building envelope with investment of air sealing, added insulation, duct sealing.
5) Add other Energy improvements to your home for green rewards, tax incentives, city-county green incentives, PGE Utility incentives or the Utility incentives of your region...Government encourages your green improvements and you will find many rebates from manufactures to add more increased value to your green improvements. Some of them to consider additionally are Energy Star Appliances, Energy Efficient Windows, Solar Thermal Hot Water Systems, Solar Photovoltaic, Radient Heated floors, Energy Efficient Roof Materials, Water Conservation Landscaping.
6) Some lesser costly things you can do is have your PGE or Utility of your region come and do a free energy audit.  There are some basic things they can do for you at no cost to promote the conservation of energy too like change out your light bulbs for LED lighting. They will wrap your pipes exterior of home to keep them from freezing in some cases. Ask your local utility for some of the things they can help you with at no cost to you.
7) You can add a low flow faucet to your shower head, replace your commode with a energy efficient water saving low flush toilet,  FYI... I read it is reccommended especially for property owners doing this to invest a little more for a commode that has a wider opening in toilet, so when flushed toilet is used--- less chance for back up and less calls to manager for over flowing toilets.

Bottome line is when you invest in your home, you add comfort which there is no price you can place on your family's comfort. Additionally when you invest in home maintenance you maintain the value of the nieghborhood market value. When you add additional investments you add value to your home you can realize with it comes time that you will be selling your home on the competitive real estate market.  Your home becomes more marketable over the home in the same neighborhood with no investments, no home maintenance. Some of the investments you make will allow you to market your home as a Green Energy Home....some other investments will not meet the required guidelines to market your home as a Green Energy Home. Consider where you want the return on your dollars invested carefully. Your investments in your building envelope will improve quality of air for healthy living. Your investments in home maintenance is prevention to your homes deferred maintenance that leads to deterioration of your homes structure. This becomes loss of value you can realize for refinance or marketing for sale of your home.
