flag Energy-efficient homes in Australia sell for significantly higher prices, with solar panels and ratings boosting value by thousands.

flag Australian home buyers are paying more for energy-efficient homes, with solar panels adding an average $23,000 (2.7%) to property values and each additional NatHERS rating star increasing value by $10,560 (1.3%). flag Regional areas, especially the Northern Territory, saw the highest percentage gains, while Hobart, Brisbane, and Melbourne had the largest dollar increases. flag Lower base prices in smaller cities and rural regions amplify the perceived value of upgrades. flag Data from Cotality and Domain show energy-efficient homes can command premiums up to $118,000, though future gains may decline as solar becomes standard—now installed in 38% of homes. flag Strict development rules in places like Bungarribee, Western Sydney, have driven widespread solar adoption and community benefits like shared battery systems.
