Upgrading your windows to EnergyStar rated National Vinyl windows could increase the asking price of your home. As mentioned before, windows preserve most of their initial value especially given their long life expectancy. At a rate of 72.3% estimated for 2020 an average total window replacement job costing $17,925 would preserve $13,018 of its initial value.
Moreover, many buyers are willing to pay a premium for energy savings. Here we try to estimate : What’s the return on investment on energy savings when it comes time to sell? What follows is what we found in Amherst:
Basic Dual-Pane to National Vinyl
If you already have dual-pane windows (non-EnergyStar rated), in Amherst, your home value could increase by around $1085.12 and $1587.89 for a mid-tier or top-tier Amherst home respectively. Compare this to, the same upgrade in Concord may get you somewhere between $1032 and $1510.16.
Single-Pane to National Vinyl
When upgrading from low-efficiency single-pane windows, the potential is even greater. Amherst homeowners could expect an estimated home value increase of between $3188.3 for mid-tier homes and $4665.54 for the top tier. Compare this to between $2832 and $4144.16 in Concord.
Another way to look at it, a window investment in Amherst can add anywhere from 0.27% percent and 1.18 % percent to the asking price of your home through the energy efficiency premium buyers have shown a willingness to pay. Combined with the aforementioned +72.3% retained upfront worth of your windows, and National Vinyl’s lifetime warranty, the value proposition for a Amherst homeowner is quite strong.
The variation between the range for Amherst and Concord, which for reference, would yield a potential premium range of 0.26% percent and 0.38% percent respectively, can be estimated from a number of factors, notably; the 0.57% percent difference in median home prices, a buyers’ propensity to pay more for energy savings at a given price range in the Manchester-Nashua region, and heating & cooling price differences between Amherst and Concord.
