Buyers nationwide are already seeking information about crime, the neighborhood and local schools. Consumers just have an insatiable appetite for more and more information at the time they’re buying a home,” says Robert Barber, CEO of Environmental Data Resources. “We started seeing an enormous spike in requests for information.” Barber says that at least 10 states in the last year have introduced new laws that require home sellers to disclose some environmental data to buyers, such as immediate proximity to a hazardous waste site, or a former gas station or dry cleaner.

Barber says the reports are based on searches of federal, state and local databases that list environmental hazards located within 300 feet of a residential property. More than 90% of the time the reports provide good news: no environmental hazards nearby. “We anticipate it’s just a matter of time before environmental information is part of every residential property transaction in the country,” he says.
