With growing awareness around climate change, demand for green homes in Canada is rising. Nearly 60% of buyers now consider energy efficiency a key factor when choosing a home.

A green home is built with sustainability in mind—featuring efficient insulation, water-saving fixtures, and low-emission materials. These homes lower energy use, reduce environmental impact, and promote healthier living conditions.

Benefits include better air quality, consistent temperatures, and lower utility bills. Green homes also tend to be more durable and quieter, with stronger resale value.

To support this shift, REALTORS® can now earn a Canadian Certified Green Representative Certification, equipping them to guide buyers and sellers on eco-friendly choices and high-performance homes.

Working with a certified REALTOR® ensures smarter, more sustainable real estate decisions—whether you're buying, selling, or upgrading.
