GREEN Appraisals Act of 2025
Summary
The GREEN Appraisals Act (HR2413) is an early-stage, zero-spending bill that requires lenders to notify borrowers about energy reports and appraisers to consider them. At this procedural stage with no funding or direct revenue for any public company, near-term market impact is negligible. Real market data shows RMAX has rallied +91% in 30 days and ZG has risen +5%, but the bill has no causal role in those trends.

Key Takeaways
- 1.HR2413 is an early-stage, zero-spending bill with no direct revenue mechanism for any public company.
- 2.The bill mandates lender disclosure and appraiser consideration of energy reports in federally backed mortgages, but market impact is negligible at this procedural stage.
- 3.RMAX's +91% 30-day surge and ZG's +5% 30-day gain are unrelated to this bill; investors should not attribute these moves to HR2413.
Market Implications
This bill does not currently warrant market attention. RMAX ($11, 52-week high $11.62) has massive upward momentum unrelated to legislative action — retail investors should not confuse this bill with a catalyst. ZG ($43.57, 52-week low $39.14) shows a mildly negative 7-day trend and is trading near the bottom of its 52-week range, suggesting no market impact from HR2413. Until this bill moves past committee or gains a fiscal mechanism (e.g., tax credits for energy reports), it is a procedural exercise with zero near-term market consequence. Focus elsewhere.
Full Analysis
-
WHAT HAPPENED: The GREEN Appraisals Act (HR2413) was introduced on March 27, 2025 by Rep. Casten (D-IL). The bill is in the 119th Congress, 1st Session, and has been referred to two committees (Financial Services, Veterans' Affairs). A companion bill (S1178) exists in the Senate, also in committee. The bill has seen no action beyond introduction and committee referral — it is in an early, stalled procedural stage with zero legislative velocity.
-
MONEY TRAIL: The bill authorizes NO spending — it is a disclosure and procedural mandate. It requires no funding allocation, no grants, no tax credits, and no direct payments. It changes what lenders must tell borrowers and what appraisers must consider. There is zero direct revenue mechanism for any public company.
-
STRUCTURAL WINNERS AND LOSERS: The bill creates no structural winners or losers. Its primary effect would be to slightly improve the appraisal value of energy-efficient homes with energy reports, which could marginally benefit real estate transaction volumes and mortgage origination. Companies like RMAX (real estate brokerage) and ZG (real estate marketplace) could see negligible tailwinds from higher transaction volume, but the effect is too small and uncertain to call bullish. No ticker has a clear revenue impact.
-
REAL MARKET DATA ANALYSIS: RMAX has surged +90.97% in 30 days and +37.67% in 7 days, closing at $11 as of April 30, 2026 — near its 52-week high of $11.62. ZG has declined -4.51% in 7 days and is up +5.27% in 30 days, closing at $43.57. Neither stock's price action shows any correlation with this bill — RMAX's move is likely driven by non-legislative factors (housing market sentiment, company-specific news, or broader market rotation). ZG's mild recent decline amid a housing backdrop suggests no market attention to this bill.
-
TIMELINE: As an early-stage bill with no hearings, no markup, and no floor action in either chamber, the path to enactment is extremely uncertain. The bill would need to pass both House committees, receive floor votes in both chambers, survive potential amendments, and be signed by the President. With the 119th Congress in its first year, this bill has multiple years of legislative steps ahead. Probability of enactment in this Congress is low.

Continuing to Protect the Meaning and Value of American Citizenship
This executive order directs federal agencies, including State, Justice, Homeland Security, and Social Security, to deny U.S. citizenship documentation to children born in the U.S. whose parents include alien enemies, foreign government employees, or those involved in commercial birth tourism or surrogacy, or who are born in territories without statutory citizenship. It implements a narrow interpretation of the Fourteenth Amendment following the Supreme Court's decision in Trump v. Barbara, effectively restricting birthright citizenship for specific categories of non-citizen parents.
Ending Birth Tourism
This executive order directs the Secretaries of State and Homeland Security to prevent foreign nationals from entering the U.S. on nonimmigrant visas for the purpose of giving birth (birth tourism), including revoking visas, barring entry, and taking action against facilitators. It defines birth tourism as entry via nonimmigrant visa for childbirth and allows humanitarian or national interest exemptions.
Modifying the Bears Ears National Monument
This proclamation reverses the 2021 expansion of Bears Ears National Monument, reducing its protected area from approximately 1.36 million acres to about 121,096 acres. It invokes the Antiquities Act to exclude lands deemed not meeting legal criteria for monument status, returning them to prior federal multi-use management (BLM/USFS) and freeing them for non-monument uses like energy development, mining, and grazing.
