Realtor Helps Home Buyers Combine the Perks of In-town Living with Green Homes in Asheville

(EMAILWIRE.COM, March 09, 2010 ) Asheville, NC -- The Asheville real estate market offers several desirable traits for home buyers including in-town living, environmentally friendly homes, and a historic atmosphere. Asheville Realtor, Margaret Vestal, helps consumers buy, sell and better understand green homes in Asheville through her Web site, www.AtHomeInAsheville.com.

"There is a real trend of people wanting to be within walking distance to shopping and amenities," said Vestal. "They want to live in the old-fashioned neighborhoods and really want to be a part of Asheville proper. People who are drawn to in-town living also tend to be more eco-conscious so the two elements go together quite naturally in the Asheville real estate market."

Vestal makes it a point to help home buyers understand the different types of environmentally friendly home options available in and around Asheville.

"There are two kinds of environmentally conscious home buyers," she said. "There are the folks who are concerned with making as small an impact on the planet as possible with their home. These buyers are looking for homes with an emphasis on smaller square footage and sustainable building, such as using bamboo floors. The other group looking for green homes in Asheville is primarily concerned with health issues. They might have sensitivities to chemicals, toxins, and off-gassing. They look for homes with as few volatile organic compounds as possible or older homes which are completely "off-gassed" by now, and homes featuring hard floors rather than carpeting."

The Asheville real estate market features homes for sale that appeal to both types of environmentally conscious buyers, while still offering the charm of historic in-town living. AtHomeInAsheville.com helps prospective home buyers find their dream home while learning more about the area and the benefits of eco-friendly homes.
