Isn an earth sheltered home a risky resale investment?
Realtors will tell you that they are, simply because they do not have one to sell you. Also in the past, earth sheltered homes were built by individuals with little or no technology or experience. They were often built with flat roofs using pre-stressed concrete or concrete block where you ended up with a multitude of “cold-joints.” Each one is a possible leaker. Using our unique forming system, our homes are built with a cathedral ceiling. The entire structure is “poured-on-site” concrete in one continuous ,’monolithic” pour so that there are no “cold-joints” in the entire pour. People are simply amazed when they walk into one of our homes and see the amount of natural light, and how open the designs can be. We have revisited many of our homeowners, and have found none that would consider moving unless they were to move into another of our earth sheltered homes.
