Will a green certified townhouse in Northern California be a wise investment purchase?

Answer 1

Yes, I think so. Northern California real estate is going up in price so quickly that even without the green certification, it would be a good investment. But that certification is itself still more valuable, as Californians and, eventually, the rest of the nation, realize that being good for the environment is also good for the economy. That there is profit, lots of profit, to be made in being a good child of Mother Nature.
