This house is already up for sale though.
Would be interesting to know if he is selling just because he needs to relocate or he needs a larger one. with 3 kids this one is a bit small.

I like that you gave an ACH number. I would love to know how many $ this cost. I thought I hear $12-15/sqft. I can't imagine a normal house wall is over $5/sqft even with a thicker wall. Does this wall really cost 2-3x more?

Hey Paul. This house is 41% more efficient than a typical house this size. The monthly energy bill is around $165.00/month whereas with a typical house it would be around $275.00/month. The mortgage for this house is around 3% more than normal, so 41% more efficient for a 3% higher mortgage speaks for itself.
