One option you have to sell your Phoenix real estate is to upgrade you water and energy efficiency by making your house ‘green‘ and investing in your Phoenix area home by turning your energy heating systems to solar power.
If you have ever been to Phoenix, AZ , Scottsdale, Mesa, Chandler or Gilbert you know why they call the greater Phoenix area, ‘Valley of the Sun'.
According to the U.S. Department of Energy report on Solar heating systems,
On average, if you install a solar water heater, your water heating bills should drop 50%-80%. Also, because the sun is free, you're protected from future fuel shortages and price hikes.
If you're building a new home in Phoenix or refinancing your Scottsdale vacation home, the economics are even more attractive.
"Including the price of a solar energy water heater in a new 30-year mortgage usually amounts to between $13 and $20 per month. The federal income tax deduction for mortgage interest attributable to the solar system reduces that by about $3-$5 per month. So if your fuel savings are more than $15 per month, the solar investment is profitable immediately. On a monthly basis, you're saving more than you're paying."

james, nice job pointing out all the reasons to go "Green" , of course, just contributing to the health of the environment is enough
Sal - I guess, I should re-correct the list and put #8 "help the environmen" as #1, you are right, that should be enough of a reason
i hope everyone doesnt forget about the importance of renewable energy now that gas prices are below $2 / gallon , this is really important
good point, we are a society that has a tendency to worry about things like that when it is too late, and then when the fear subsides, no one even mentions it until it becomes a problem again
I've just built a new home. I have geothermal. Does that count? Very cool.
