Description
Value You Can Measure
Norwalk residents have a whole host strong reasons to upgrade their windows. Fixing damaged windows, renewing the aesthetics of your home etc… Certain such features should be calculated quite clearly.
To start, windows preserve about 72.3 percent of their initial purchase value in New England according to the Remodeling 2020 Cost vs. Value Report. This places windows among the top 5 home improvement investments in terms of value retention.
In terms of energy savings, residents of Norwalk, should notice large declines on annual expenditures for electricity. If you already have dual pane windows you may save around $197.54 compared to $172 in Hartford. By comparison, when upgrading single-pane windows to National Vinyl’s EnergyStar rated windows you may save approximately $598.32 annually, compared to $439 in Hartford.
Improve your Norwalk Home’s Asking Price through Energy Savings
[lme-module module=”market-stats” city=”Norwalk” state=”CT”]
Upgrading your windows to EnergyStar rated National Vinyl windows could add to 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.
In addition, many buyers are willing to pay a premium for energy savings. Here we try to answer the question : What’s the return on energy savings when it comes time to sell? What follows is what we found in Norwalk:
Basic Dual-Pane to National Vinyl
If you already have dual-pane windows (non-EnergyStar rated), in Norwalk, your home value could increase by between $1185.22 and $1734.37 for a mid-tier or top-tier Norwalk home respectively. For comparison, the same replacement in Hartford may get you somewhere between $1032 and $1510.16.
Single-Pane to National Vinyl
When upgrading from low-efficiency single-pane windows, the potential is even greater. Norwalk homeowners could expect an estimated home value gain of between $3589.93 for mid-tier homes and $5253.27 for the top tier. Compare this to between $2634 and $3854.42 in Hartford.
In other words, a window upgrade in Norwalk can add anywhere from 0.39% percent and 1.72 % percent to the value of your home by way of 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 Norwalk homeowner is relatively clear.
The variation between the range for Norwalk and Hartford, which for reference, would yield a potential premium range of 0.34% percent and 0.5% percent respectively, is derived from a number of factors, primarily; the 1.65% percent difference in median home prices, a buyers’ willingness to pay more for energy savings at a given price point in the Bridgeport-Stamford-Norwalk region, and energy price differences between Norwalk and Hartford.
The data presented is extrapolated from EnergyStar, the NREL,Department of Energy and meticulous research conducted by the National Association of Homebuilders. Norwalk home value data is provided by Zillow.
