Upgrading your windows to EnergyStar rated National Vinyl windows can increase the value 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 find out : What’s the ROI on energy savings when selling the house? Below is what we discovered in Plymouth:
Basic Dual-Pane to National Vinyl
If you already have dual-pane windows (non-EnergyStar rated), in Plymouth, your home value could increase by between $660.14 and $966.01 for a mid-tier or top-tier Plymouth home respectively. For comparison, 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. Plymouth homeowners could see an estimated home value gain of between $1888.03 for mid-tier homes and $2762.82 for the top tier. Compare this to between $2064 and $3020.32 in Boston.
Another way to look at it, a window upgrade in Plymouth can add between 0.17% percent and 0.71 % percent to the asking 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 worth of your windows, and National Vinyl’s lifetime warranty, the value proposition for a Plymouth homeowner is quite clear.
The variation between the range for Plymouth and Boston, which for reference, would yield a potential premium range of 0.18% percent and 0.26% percent respectively, may come from a number of factors, notably; the -0.39% 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 price differences between Plymouth and Boston.
