Green Not a Panacea in a Down Market

And really, what is (besides a 4.5% 30-year fixed)? It's cool; it came to SF burdened with great expectations, and it was never able to live up to that original listing price. Still, if green doesn't carry a PRICE premium in a down market, could it carry at least a foot traffic premium? We'd like to (and truthfully, we do) think so.

First, the bad news: SF's first green home hit the resale market this month, with some unfortunate news.
