For some time, I’ve heard rumors of Austin City Council passing some insanely ridiculous mandates that require home sellers to retrofit their homes for energy efficiency to obtain a certificate of compliance that could cost homeowners any profit margin they could ever expect in the sale of their home!!! (for full story, click here)

Apparently these proposals are soon becoming a reality in Austin and tomorrow, Single Pointe will be attending a REALTOR-sponsored luncheon that will have Q&A time for the City Council members. My first question would be “are you out of your ever loving mind?” Single Pointe will be printing out all comments to this story (click here to leave your comment) and taking them to the meeting.

I could write pages and pages on this about how I smell something fishy and I sense that someone’s pockets are about to get really full while Austin home sellers feel the excrutiating pain of this INSANE proposal. Instead, I’ll request that anyone reading this, go comment and tell the City Council what you think, even if you’re out of state (what would you do if this were YOUR city? have you seen this happen before? wth?)!

I’ve closed comments here so they are all in one place (here).
