Basic Dual-Pane to National Vinyl

Single-Pane to National Vinyl
When upgrading from low-efficiency single-pane windows, the potential is even greater. Northampton homeowners may expect an estimated home value increase of between $1829.02 for mid-tier homes and $2676.47 for the top tier. Compare this to between $2064 and $3020.32 in Boston.

The variation between the range for Northampton and Boston, which for reference, would yield a potential premium range of 0.22% percent and 0.33% percent respectively, is derived from a number of factors, especially; the -0.52% percent difference in median home prices, a buyers’ propensity to pay more for energy savings at a given price point in the Springfield region, and energy price differences between Northampton and Boston.
