[lme-module module=”market-stats” city=”Bath” state=”ME”]
Upgrading your windows to EnergyStar rated National Vinyl windows can increase the value 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 ascertain : What’s the ROI on energy savings when selling the house? The following is what we discovered in Bath:
Basic Dual-Pane to National Vinyl
If you already have dual-pane windows (non-EnergyStar rated), in Bath, your home value could increase by around $675.57 and $988.59 for a mid-tier or top-tier Bath home respectively. Compare this to, the same replacement in Portland could add somewhere between $702 and $1027.26.
Single-Pane to National Vinyl
When upgrading from low-efficiency single-pane windows, the potential is even greater. Bath homeowners could yield an estimated home value gain of between $2130.13 for mid-tier homes and $3117.08 for the top tier. Compare this to between $2346 and $3432.98 in Portland.
Another way to look at it, a window upgrade in Bath can add between 0.34% percent and 1.59 % percent to the asking price of your home via the energy efficiency premium buyers have shown a willingness to pay. Add to this the aforementioned +72.3% retained initial value of your windows, and National Vinyl’s lifetime warranty, the value proposition for a Bath homeowner is quite clear.
The variation between the range for Bath and Portland, which for reference, would yield a potential premium range of 0.36% percent and 0.52% percent respectively, is derived from a number of factors, principally; the -0.42% percent difference in median home prices, a buyers’ propensity to pay more for energy savings at a given price range in the Portland-South Portland region, and heating & cooling cost differences between Bath and Portland.
