Not sure if I fit your definition for typical, but am an owner of a recently built lake home, and you pose a good question that might better be anwsered by a real estate or banker pro because I suspect it would have to do with the "pay back" of these additions to cost. Just think about the obvious............if your house was estimated to be say $700k, then these additions would push it to $875k..........that's a nice chunk of change unless it has a sexy payback. In addition to the $175k increase, this 25% upcharge will likely increase your insurance cost and your taxes due to improved valuation by the county.....................so the biggest question for me would be......what are these smart building additions that will overcome the cost considerations? Would they be easily quantifiable energy saving features above and beyond what the market expects nowadays? Am curious to hear from others on this.
