Basic Dual-Pane to National Vinyl

Single-Pane to National Vinyl
When upgrading from low-efficiency single-pane windows, the potential is even greater. Ridge homeowners could yield an estimated home value gain of between $3956.33 for mid-tier homes and $5789.43 for the top tier. Compare this to between $2712 and $3968.56 in Buffalo.

The variation between the range for Ridge and Buffalo, which for reference, would yield a potential premium range of 0.32% percent and 0.47% percent respectively, is dependent on a number of factors, especially; the 2.09% percent difference in median home prices, a buyers’ propensity to pay more for energy savings at a given price range in the New York-Newark-Jersey City region, and heating & cooling cost differences between Ridge and Buffalo.
