Real estate is always changing, but one trend we see gaining serious traction in 2025 (across every industry) is sustainability. Nearly 80% of home buyers consider sustainability when purchasing, according to a recent report. More buyers are asking about energy bills, solar panels, and smart home features. Whether you're preparing to sell, buying your next property, or managing an estate, sustainable features can be a big deal for the planet and your bottom line.
At Mike Winton Realty & Auction, we’ve worked with properties all over Middle Tennessee, and we’ve seen firsthand how the right upgrades can help a home stand out.

Upgrades That Make Sense For Your Property
