Recently, demand has grown sharply for energy-resilient properties\u2014homes that can keep the lights on and daily life moving, even during major storms or grid outages. One local community that maintained power through a major hurricane stands out as a clear example: durability isn\u2019t just a buzzword, it truly strengthens buyer interest and long-term value.<\/p>\n<p>Concerns about utility costs and outages have made features like backup power and energy independence more than just nice-to-have\u2014they\u2019re practical selling points and sources of peace of mind.
