Replacing your windows to EnergyStar rated National Vinyl windows may add to 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 determine : What’s the return on investment on energy savings if you sell your home? This is what we found in Boston:
Basic Dual-Pane to National Vinyl
If you already have dual-pane windows (non-EnergyStar rated), in Boston, your home value could increase by between $1203.84 and $1678.76 for a mid-tier or top-tier Boston home respectively.
Single-Pane to National Vinyl
When upgrading from low-efficiency single-pane windows, the potential is even greater. Boston homeowners may see an estimated home value increase of between $3632.64 for mid-tier homes and $5065.74 for the top tier.
