LiveAble Homes Certification
A LiveAble Homes Certification guarantees that the design and features of a certified home will accommodate all physical abilities, reducing the need for costly modifications in the future.
The LiveAble Home Certification is much more than ADA compliance. We utilize ICC/ANS 117.1 Type A/B international residential building codes and Universal Design standards to ensure that, at minimum, every feature both inside and out of a home is safe for anyone who visits.
Done well, this inclusive design becomes a virtually invisible element that allows any person living in or visiting the home to feel welcomed and comfortable.
The LiveAble Homes Certification is a searchable field in the RMLS system.
Why should you certify your home?
Certifying with LiveAble Homes gives your home an edge in today’s housing market. With more than 1/3 of all US homebuyers seeking homes designed for aging-in-place or multi-generational living, certification signals that a property is future-ready, inclusive, and marketable—helping you sell faster and attract a wider pool of buyers.
For builders, developers and remodelers, certification showcases your commitment to inclusive, forward-thinking design and sets your projects apart in a competitive marketplace, making them more appealing to a broader market of homebuyers.
