Upgrading your windows to EnergyStar rated National Vinyl windows could increase the sale price of your home. As mentioned before, windows preserve most of their initial value especially given their long life expectancy.

Moreover, many buyers are willing to pay a premium for energy savings. Here we try to evaluate : What’s the return on investment on energy savings if you put your house up for sale? What follows is what we uncovered in Long Lake:
Basic Dual-Pane to National Vinyl
If you already have dual-pane windows (non-EnergyStar rated), in Long Lake, your home value could increase by between $1155.04 and $1690.21 for a mid-tier or top-tier Long Lake home respectively. For comparison, the same replacement in Buffalo could yield somewhere between $1044 and $1527.72.
Single-Pane to National Vinyl
When upgrading from low-efficiency single-pane windows, the potential is even greater. Long Lake homeowners could see an estimated home value gain of between $3417.11 for mid-tier homes and $5000.37 for the top tier. Compare this to between $2712 and $3968.56 in Buffalo.
Another way to look at it, a window investment in Long Lake can add anywhere from 0.5% percent and 2.19 % percent to the asking price of your home by way of the energy efficiency premium buyers have shown a willingness to pay.

The variation between the range for Long Lake and Buffalo, which for reference, would yield a potential premium range of 0.46% percent and 0.67% percent respectively, is derived from a number of factors, in particular; the 1.18% percent difference in median home prices, a buyers’ willingness to pay more for energy savings at a given price point in the region, and heating & cooling cost differences between Long Lake and Buffalo.
