Replacing your windows to EnergyStar rated National Vinyl windows may 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 ascertain : What’s the ROI on energy savings when selling the house? The following is what we found in Franklin:
Basic Dual-Pane to National Vinyl
If you already have dual-pane windows (non-EnergyStar rated), in Franklin, your home value could increase by between $666.72 and $975.63 for a mid-tier or top-tier Franklin home respectively. For comparison, the same upgrade 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. Franklin homeowners could see an estimated home value gain of between $1936.51 for mid-tier homes and $2833.76 for the top tier. Compare this to between $2064 and $3020.32 in Boston.
Another way to look at it, a window upgrade in Franklin can add anywhere from 0.15% percent and 0.62 % 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 value of your windows, and National Vinyl’s lifetime warranty, the value proposition for a Franklin homeowner is relatively clear.
The variation between the range for Franklin and Boston, which for reference, would yield a potential premium range of 0.15% percent and 0.22% percent respectively, is dependent on a number of factors, particularly; the -0.28% percent difference in median home prices, a buyers’ willingness to pay more for energy savings at a given price range in the Boston-Cambridge-Newton region, and energy cost differences between Franklin and Boston.
