Where ‘green’ and luxury living go hand in hand
T
he future of green
technology is happening today and it’s
happening just south of the
border. Recent advances in
green technology have
made off-grid living and
luxury living no longer
mutually exclusive.
The clearest example of
this is found in Baja California’s newest master
planned community located
in the small seaside community of San Felipe. The name
of the green development is
Rancho Costa Verde. It is a
U.S. master planned community that showcases the
advances in eco-technology
that are allowing for the
marriage of the concepts of
luxury and green living.
With advances in solar
power systems they can
now produce ample electricity to run a luxury three
bedroom, three bathroom
beachfront home with all
the modern amenities and
appliances.
As major appliance manufacturers are beginning to
85 percent recycled product
that provides an insulation
factor of R-34.
The use of this new and
existing technology also has
a secondary impact on the
real estate at Rancho Costa
Verde. Because developments such as Rancho Costa
Verde do not require the
traditional infrastructure-
needed to create a master
planned community like
this, the developers do not
need to absorb the traditional costs required to
create such communities.
Less cost for the development of the land means
less cost to prospective
owners, and that is why
Rancho Costa Verde can
offer quarter-acre homesites
with sea and mountain
views for as little as
$17,500.

recognize the need, and the
public’s desire for more
energy efficient products,
they have been dedicating
more of their research and
development budgets to
green advances in their
products, and making significant breakthroughs. Coupled with vastly more efficient solar panels, batteries
and energy converters,
homes are now able to have
all the luxuries a second
home could possibly have,
including air conditioning.
Water, one of our most
precious resources, is another priority that eco-technology is having a massive
impact on. The atmospheric
water maker technology
that has been utilized in
countries like Israel has
made its way across the
Atlantic. Atmospheric water
makers powered by these
new solar energy systems
can create up to 100 gallons
of clear drinking water out
of the air’s natural humidity
levels in a 24-hour period.

How to Sell Your Home Without an Agent
and Save the Commission
Sacramento Region - If you've tried to sell your
home yourself, you know that the minute you put
the "For Sale by Owner" sign up, the phone will start
to ring off the hook. Unfortunately, most calls aren't
from prospective buyers, but rather from every real
estate agent in town who will start to hound you for
your listing.
Like other "For Sale by Owners", you'll be
subjected to a hundred sales pitches from agents
who will tell you how great they are and how you
can't possibly sell your home by yourself. After all,
without the proper information, selling a home isn't
easy. Perhaps you've had your home on the market
for several months with no offers from qualified
buyers. This can be a very frustrating time, and
many homeowners have given up their dreams of
selling their homes themselves. But don't give up
until you've read a new report entitled "Sell Your
Own Home" which has been prepared especially
for homesellers like you. You'll find that selling your
home by yourself is entirely possible once you
understand the process.
Inside this report, you'll find 10 inside tips to
selling your home by yourself which will help you
sell for the best price in the shortest amount of time.
You'll find out what real estate agents don't want
you to know.
