Building a new house, even an eco friendly house will require tearing up land to get an adequate house pad site for even the most eco-friendly house along with a large price tag.
It might be better to remodel your existing home if you have put a lot of time and energy into your current house. It takes usually fewer resources to upgrade and you can do your project in phases.
Are your kids already in a school they like? Do your parents live nearby? Is your social network there. As you move further away for eco house, you may be leaving a bigger footprint by having to drive to visit friends and family.
Infrastructure is in place! Your wastewater system is in, your water system is there, again distrubing the land is kept to a minimum.
What about neighborhood revitalization?
