Switching your windows to EnergyStar rated National Vinyl windows can 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 estimate : What’s the ROI on energy savings if you put your house up for sale? This is what we found in Harleysville:
Basic Dual-Pane to National Vinyl
If you already have dual-pane windows (non-EnergyStar rated), in Harleysville, your home value could increase by between $752.89 and $1101.74 for a mid-tier or top-tier Harleysville home respectively. For comparison, the same replacement in Philadelphia could add somewhere between $696 and $1018.48.
Single-Pane to National Vinyl
When upgrading from low-efficiency single-pane windows, the potential is even greater. Harleysville homeowners could expect an estimated home value gain of between $2116.49 for mid-tier homes and $3097.12 for the top tier. Compare this to between $1764 and $2581.32 in Philadelphia.
Another way to look at it, a window upgrade in Harleysville can add anywhere from 0.21% percent and 0.88 % percent to the sale 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 value of your windows, and National Vinyl’s lifetime warranty, the value proposition for a Harleysville homeowner is relatively strong.
The variation between the range for Harleysville and Philadelphia, which for reference, would yield a potential premium range of 0.2% percent and 0.29% percent respectively, may come from a number of factors, particularly; the 0.91% percent difference in median home prices, a buyers’ propensity to pay more for energy savings at a given price point in the Philadelphia-Camden-Wilmington region, and heating & cooling cost differences between Harleysville and Philadelphia.
