A Karma home with solar received a HERS rating of 11, which means the home is 89% more

Boyer Vertical is nearly sold out of its sustainable infill development in north central Phoenix.
With base prices starting at $1.45 million, only two homes remain available at Karma, a community of 11 smart, modern homes with sustainable features on a 1.6-acre parcel near 13th Street and Bethany Home Road.
Seven homes already have closed, another is closing this month and another is in escrow to close in February, said Jason Boyer, founder of Boyer Vertical.
The developer broke ground during the summer of 2021, and expects to have 11 homes built by February. The Brokery is handling all sales for Karma.
The two-story homes range between 2,380 square feet and 2,610 square feet with four bedrooms, two-car garages and small private backyards.
Every home is designed to meet or exceed a Home Energy Rating System (HERS) index score of 50.
Homes are pre-wired for solar.
“A couple of buyers have chosen to proceed with installing solar on Day 1 when they take ownership,” he said.
Boyer is integrating Span Panels in every home, allowing homeowners to control and monitor every circuit in the home from a smart phone or tablet to monitor the use of energy. EV chargers also connect to this system.
“Every buyer has chosen to add one EV charger, if not two,” Boyer said. “If they choose to sell their homes, they are completely ready for what the future has to bring with the continued transition to the EV market.”
