In Bend, Oregon, where lifestyle meets sustainability, real estate advisor Sonja Porter of Cascade Hasson Sotheby’s International Realty is setting the bar high with a remarkable listing. Nestled in the coveted Three Pines Ridge neighborhood, this Earth Advantage Platinum-certified home not only boasts luxury and craftsmanship but also achieves an impressive score of 10 in Bend’s Home Energy Score Program. This score positions the property as one of the most energy-efficient homes in the city—a rare and valuable find.

Why Home Energy Scores Matter in Bend

The City of Bend’s Home Energy Score Program aims to enhance transparency in real estate by providing buyers with an “energy efficiency snapshot” of homes. Similar to a car’s MPG rating, a Home Energy Score evaluates the structure, heating and cooling systems, and other energy-related features. Scores range from 1 to 10, with 10 being the most energy-efficient.

Since July 1, 2023, homes listed for sale in Bend must include a Home Energy Score, giving buyers critical insight into potential utility costs and upgrade opportunities. For buyers prioritizing sustainability and cost savings, a high score is a clear signal of value.

This particular home’s score of 10 sets it apart, ensuring low energy costs—a rare find in today’s market.
