Value You Can Measure
Framingham residents have countless great reasons to change their windows. Fixing leaky windows, renewing the decor of your home etc… Some such features can be counted rather clearly.
To start, windows preserve 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.
In terms of energy savings, houses in Framingham, may experience impressive savings on weekly spending for energy. If you already have dual pane windows you could save approximately $110.86 compared to $114 in Boston.

Upgrading your windows to EnergyStar rated National Vinyl windows could 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.
In addition, many buyers are willing to pay a premium for energy savings. Here we try to estimate : What’s the return on energy savings if you put your house up for sale? The following is what we uncovered in Framingham:
Basic Dual-Pane to National Vinyl
If you already have dual-pane windows (non-EnergyStar rated), in Framingham, your home value could increase by around $665.14 and $973.33 for a mid-tier or top-tier Framingham home respectively. For comparison, the same replacement in Boston may get you somewhere between $684 and $1000.92.
Single-Pane to National Vinyl
When upgrading from low-efficiency single-pane windows, the potential is even greater. Framingham homeowners may expect an estimated home value increase of between $1924.9 for mid-tier homes and $2816.77 for the top tier. Compare this to between $2064 and $3020.32 in Boston.
In other words, a window investment in Framingham can add anywhere from 0.15% percent and 0.64 % percent to the sale price of your home via the energy efficiency premium buyers have shown a willingness to pay. Add to this the aforementioned +72.3% retained initial worth of your windows, and National Vinyl’s lifetime warranty, the value proposition for a Framingham homeowner is quite strong.
The variation between the range for Framingham and Boston, which for reference, would yield a potential premium range of 0.16% percent and 0.23% percent respectively, can be estimated from a number of factors, in particular; the -0.31% percent difference in median home prices, a buyers’ propensity to pay more for energy savings at a given price range in the Boston-Cambridge-Newton region, and heating & cooling cost differences between Framingham and Boston.
The data presented is extrapolated from EnergyStar, the NREL,Department of Energy and incredible research executed by the NAHB. Framingham home value data is provided by Zillow.
