Switching your windows to EnergyStar rated National Vinyl windows could increase the asking 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 find out : What’s the return on investment on energy savings if you sell your home? Here is what we discovered in Cold Spring Harbor:
Basic Dual-Pane to National Vinyl
If you already have dual-pane windows (non-EnergyStar rated), in Cold Spring Harbor, your home value could increase by between $4184.03 and $6626.54 for a mid-tier or top-tier Cold Spring Harbor home respectively. Compare this to, the same replacement in Buffalo may get you somewhere between $2262 and $3582.49.

The variation between the range for Cold Spring Harbor and Buffalo, which for reference, would yield a potential premium range of 0.21% percent and 0.33% percent respectively, is dependent on a number of factors, primarily; the 9.44% percent difference in median home prices, a buyers’ propensity to pay more for energy savings at a given price range in the New York-Newark-Jersey City region, and energy cost differences between Cold Spring Harbor and Buffalo.
