Upgrading your windows to EnergyStar rated National Vinyl windows can increase the value of your home.

Moreover, many buyers are willing to pay a premium for energy savings. Here we try to determine : What’s the return on energy savings when it comes time to sell? Below is what we uncovered in Castleton:

The variation between the range for Castleton and Burlington, which for reference, would yield a potential premium range of 0.59% percent and 0.86% percent respectively, can be estimated from a number of factors, notably; the 0.42% percent difference in median home prices, a buyers’ willingness to pay more for energy savings at a given price point in the Rutland region, and energy cost differences between Castleton and Burlington.
