Matt Goyer’s Real Estate Blog

From the Seattle PI’s Building Seattle Green blog comes news that the NWMLS is Going Green!

Effective immediately, listing agents can use checkboxes for highlighting a home’s green and resource-efficient features. Among the new fields are designations for homes that are certified Built Green, ENERGY STAR and LEED and those with third party verification.

I typically spend all day cursing various MLSes for the hoops we have to jump through (for example, you can’t show $/square foot for MLS PIN listings in Boston.) so it’s always nice to read about MLSes doing something right.

Hopefully other MLSes follow suit so that we can add some green search features to Redfin. This also makes me glad that I bought a Built Green condo. Gives it just a little more edge when it comes time to sell.
