Ecologic Jargon for San Jose CA Real Estate
Posted in:
Santa Clara County Cities
Are you at a loss for words in the eco-friendly era? When communicating green ideas about real estate in Los Gatos and San Jose,
many people assume that others are up on environmental issues. Not
so. Plenty of property owners from Saratoga, Campbell, and Los Gatos to San Jose's East Foothills could use a quick study of green jargon. So here it is.
Below is an overview of common green terminology. Many of these terms are bantered about inaccurately, making it difficult for the buyer or homeowner to cogitate the meaning or effectiveness of a product on the shelf or in a catalog. To make matters worse, at times manufacturers label in a misleading way. We recommend buyers and homeowners contact a trained, green-certified Realtor for professional assistance.

The time is right for homeowners of Los Gatos CA real estate to utilize the Energy Efficiency Mortgage (EEM) program and the tax credit to upgrade their homes.
While the tax credit is available only through 2010, the EEM program
continues to offer financial incentives to help homeowners upgrade homes in Los Gatos and throughout the U.S.A.
An EEM enables the homebuyer or the homeowner to finance the cost of adding energy-efficient features to both new and existing homes in the San Jose area. These improvements help to save money on utility bills. The FHA and Veterans Affairs federally insured mortgage programs as well as Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac in the conventional secondary mortgage market sponsor the Energy Efficiency Mortgage programs.
