Through
co-ownership of second homes, all Fractional Villas® reduce the carbon
footprint of housing on the environment and the community. Green
Ownership® reduces the demand for more
living units, allowing for shared usage of second homes that are
otherwise owned by only one family. This shared use better
utilizes existing resources and inventory of homes, to accommodate the
needs of many families, thereby conserving land use, while reducing the
need for new construction and helping to eliminate the need for further
deforestation. Green Ownership® provides
for better utilization of the existing infrastructure, without creating
any additional burden upon local schools, roadways, sewer, or water
systems, beyond what the home was already permitted for.
Green
Ownership® allows for better utilization
of existing second homes, assuring "warm pillows" (versus
cold-unused homes) and creating more frequent use of each property, for
longer stays, thereby helping to stabilize local employment needs, with
less peaks and valleys to workforce scheduling. This
stabilization, in turn, enhances
the local economy and wage base.
With Green
Ownership® second homes are made more
affordable to more families, sharing the cost of private home
ownership. The market for home sales is expanded with Green
Ownership®, creating a more liquid market for area home sales, thereby
helping to support the underlying real estate market values.
Due to the
significant maintenance budget shared by the co-owners, each Green
Ownership® home is professionally
maintained, with weekly property inspections, assuring no
deferred maintenance. Green
Ownership® homes use only organic and ecologically friendly cleaning products and recyclable consumables.
Green
Ownership® homes always exhibit true
pride of ownership to the community.
Fractional Villas® coined
the term Green
Ownership® and
leads the way in this evolution of the use and ownership of second homes
around the planet!
