We've Gone Solar!

March 5, 2024

All of our houses have been Energy Star certified since 2019, and for the past year they have been certified by the Department of Energy's Zero Energy Ready Homes program (ZERH).  Energy efficiency is important to us because we want to deliver a high-quality product that adds long-term value to our home buyers. 

After looking for cost-effective ways to deliver the best results, we are excited to announce that all of our houses going forward will include solar panels as a standard feature!  We feel that this is a value-adding product that differentiates us from our competition.

We've done all of the research and heavy lifting for you. If you've ever called a solar company for an estimate your head was probably spinning with information overload - inverters, kilowatts, DC vs AC, net metering,  energy offset, payback period, orientation, warranty, useful life... It can be overwhelming! But we've done the hard work for you. All you have to do is collect your federal tax credit and enjoy substantially reduced power bills!

We've negotiated builder pricing on a solar system that delivers huge energy results. For what we could have spent on other energy-saving products like spray-foam insulation and triple pane windows, the solar panels offer huge savings and long-term value at a reasonable price. The incremental cost of solar is bundled into your mortgage payment,  adding less to your monthly mortgage payment than your monthly utility payment savings, so you're saving money from day one, and the savings only grow from there!

We've partnered with reputable and experienced solar companies. We use Native Solar in Idaho and Hot Solar in Washington.
