Switching your windows to EnergyStar rated National Vinyl windows may add to the asking price of your home. As mentioned before, windows preserve most of their initial value especially given their long life expectancy.

In addition, many buyers are willing to pay a premium for energy savings. Here we try to uncover : What’s the return on energy savings if you put your house up for sale? The following is what we uncovered in Lowell:
Basic Dual-Pane to National Vinyl
If you already have dual-pane windows (non-EnergyStar rated), in Lowell, your home value could increase by between $652.52 and $954.85 for a mid-tier or top-tier Lowell home respectively. Compare this to, the same upgrade in Boston could add somewhere between $684 and $1000.92.
Single-Pane to National Vinyl
When upgrading from low-efficiency single-pane windows, the potential is even greater. Lowell homeowners could see an estimated home value increase of between $1831.79 for mid-tier homes and $2680.52 for the top tier. Compare this to between $2064 and $3020.32 in Boston.
Another way to look at it, a window upgrade in Lowell can add between 0.21% percent and 0.86 % percent to the sale price of your home via the energy efficiency premium buyers have shown a willingness to pay. Combined with the aforementioned +72.3% retained upfront value of your windows, and National Vinyl’s lifetime warranty, the value proposition for a Lowell homeowner is relatively clear.
The variation between the range for Lowell and Boston, which for reference, would yield a potential premium range of 0.22% percent and 0.32% percent respectively, can be estimated from a number of factors, primarily; the -0.51% percent difference in median home prices, a buyers’ likelihood to pay more for energy savings at a given price range in the Boston-Cambridge-Newton region, and energy cost differences between Lowell and Boston.
