[lme-module module=”market-stats” city=”Chester” state=”NJ”]
Upgrading your windows to EnergyStar rated National Vinyl windows may increase 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.
In addition, 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? Here is what we uncovered in Chester:
Basic Dual-Pane to National Vinyl
If you already have dual-pane windows (non-EnergyStar rated), in Chester, your home value could increase by around $1449.48 and $2021.31 for a mid-tier or top-tier Chester home respectively. For comparison, the same upgrade in Atlantic City could add somewhere between $1056 and $1472.6.
Single-Pane to National Vinyl
When upgrading from low-efficiency single-pane windows, the potential is even greater. Chester homeowners may expect an estimated home value increase of between $5528.89 for mid-tier homes and $7710.08 for the top tier. Compare this to between $2893.44 and $4034.92 in Atlantic City.
In other words, a window upgrade in Chester can add anywhere from 0.25% percent and 1.31 % percent to the asking price of your home by way of the energy efficiency premium buyers have shown a willingness to pay. Combined with the aforementioned +72.3% retained initial worth of your windows, and National Vinyl’s lifetime warranty, the value proposition for a Chester homeowner is relatively strong.
The variation between the range for Chester and Atlantic City, which for reference, would yield a potential premium range of 0.18% percent and 0.25% percent respectively, is derived from a number of factors, principally; the 4.14% percent difference in median home prices, a buyers’ propensity to pay more for energy savings at a given price point in the New York-Newark-Jersey City region, and energy cost differences between Chester and Atlantic City.
