Would you pay little extra for energy efficient house?

BrixResearch Moderator says: As the world grapples with energy issues, real estate developers are experimenting with techniques that help them save energy and maintenance costs of property. A lot is being done on this front in India too. Many energy efficient buildings or ‘green buildings’ (as they are popularly called) are operational in the country. Presently about 65 buildings have the green rating in India. 

Energy efficient buildings may cost little extra than the conventional buildings but the long-tern maintenance is comparatively low. Would you pay little extra to install energy efficient features in your house?

Is this the right time to buy property abroad?

BrixResearch Moderator says: Property markets across the world have shown signs of recessions. Property prices have mellowed down all over as there are very few buyers for real estate at this point of time. Financial crisis have added further pressure on the real estate sales.

It is estimated that property prices in the US have plunged by as much as 50-60%. Is it a good idea to buy/lease property abroad when property prices there are so low?
