00:00A cheaper way to power homes.
00:05Real estate agents across Brisbane have seen an increase in buyer demand for more energy
00:10efficient properties.
00:11Energy efficiency, especially with the cost of living at the moment, is a very, very important
00:16part of someone's purchase or their build.
00:19James Austin says prospective buyers have more questions, especially in the past 12
00:25months.
00:26And solar panels, solar hot water, energy efficient lighting.
00:30All those things I think are really important when they're looking to design a house or
00:34looking at a house similar to this one.
00:36New data reveals energy efficient homes are selling for more than others without similar
00:41features.
00:42Brisbane houses make on average $120,000 more.
00:46Sydney, $180,000.
00:49Melbourne, almost $200,000.
00:51Across the country, homes in capital cities make on average $100,000 more.
00:56We did see that price premium across a diverse array of different suburbs across our different
01:01capital cities.
01:02But it did appear that middle Australia was really driving the uptake and driving those
01:06price premiums for a more energy efficient home.
01:09Researchers say investment is needed to make older homes more efficient.
01:13Greener housing advocates want to see more investment retrofitting rentals so tenants and low income
01:20households aren't left behind and can reap some of the benefits.
01:24We need to make these things more common and drive them apart across every part of the
01:28market.
