As we enter our 19th year at Sustainable Sources, we’re happy to announce that we’ve completely revamped our long running Real Estate section.
Your listings can now have up to 20 images.
Easier to list property.
Easier to update.
It’s on a much faster server.
Improved searches.
Includes green sales AND green rentals.
New sections for commercial properties, too! (For lease and for sale)
Ads from 30 days for $5.00 (that’s right, just $5.00!!) to a full year for $20.00.
Obviously, we’re not looking to get rich off of this – unlike the other sites which list green real estate and start at $19-$25 for a 30 day listing and over $200 for a one-year listing! Electrons don’t cost that much.
The real estate market has changed a lot since we first started Green Real Estate listings in 1998 - there is greater awareness of the need for energy efficiency and homes and offices built with healthy materials, and more people than ever are specifically looking for green. Make sure they find you here!

Choosing a site on which to locate a new home is not a simple task. Countless factors – natural, man-made, social and economic – must be examined. Where we choose to build and how we build on a site have an impact on the local and global environments, ongoing costs (utility bills, maintenance) and our physical and psychological well-being. With today’s rapid growth, dwindling resources and increasing pollution threats, concern for human and environmental health are causing us to take a closer look at our building practices, starting with the building site. Whether selecting a site or working with an existing site, and whether the site is urban, suburban or rural, there are many aspects that can be examined with respect to how “green”, that is how healthy for people and the planet, the home on that site can potentially be. . . . → Read More: Site Selection and Analysis
