Description
Value You Can Measure
Casco property owners have a whole host good reasons to upgrade their windows. Updating leaky windows, revamping the decor of your home etc… Many such values may be counted rather explicitly.
To begin with, windows retain about 72.3 percent of their initial purchase value in New England according to the Remodeling 2020 Cost vs. Value Report. This places windows among the top 5 home improvement investments in terms of value retention.
As for energy savings, households located in Casco, may have significant savings on weekly expenditures for home energy. If you already have dual pane windows you may save about $114.56 compared to $117 in Portland. By comparison, when replacing single-pane windows to National Vinyl’s EnergyStar rated windows you could save approximately $371.04 annually, compared to $391 in Portland.
Build your Casco Home’s Resale Price through Energy Savings

Switching your windows to EnergyStar rated National Vinyl windows can add to the sale 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 energy savings when it comes time to sell? What follows is what we estimated in Casco:
Basic Dual-Pane to National Vinyl
If you already have dual-pane windows (non-EnergyStar rated), in Casco, your home value could increase by around $687.34 and $1005.81 for a mid-tier or top-tier Casco home respectively. Compare this to, the same upgrade 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. Casco homeowners could see an estimated home value gain of between $2226.23 for mid-tier homes and $3257.72 for the top tier. Compare this to between $2346 and $3432.98 in Portland.
In other words, a window investment in Casco can add anywhere from 0.26% percent and 1.26 % percent to the asking price of your home through 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 Casco homeowner is quite clear.
The variation between the range for Casco and Portland, which for reference, would yield a potential premium range of 0.27% percent and 0.4% percent respectively, is dependent on a number of factors, principally; the -0.23% percent difference in median home prices, a buyers’ willingness to pay more for energy savings at a given price range in the Portland-South Portland region, and heating & cooling cost differences between Casco and Portland.
The data presented is based on EnergyStar, the NREL,Department of Energy and extensive research conducted by the National Association of Homebuilders. Casco home value data is provided by Zillow.
