What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

A joint report by Cotality and the Real Estate Institute of Australia found that homes with strong energy performance are commanding price and rental premiums nationally. The research showed that properties with solar panels achieved prices approximately 2.7% higher than comparable properties without them. Furthermore, each additional star rating under the Nationwide House Energy Rating Scheme is associated with an estimated average 1.3% greater value nationally.

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The findings indicate a significant shift in property valuation, as 70% of established Australian houses (excluding apartments) are estimated to perform below four stars. This trend suggests that energy efficiency is becoming a key factor in how brokers and lenders assess property value.
