Replacing your windows to EnergyStar rated National Vinyl windows may increase 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 determine : What’s the return on energy savings if you sell your home? Here is what we uncovered in Swampscott:
Basic Dual-Pane to National Vinyl
If you already have dual-pane windows (non-EnergyStar rated), in Swampscott, your home value could increase by around $1189.08 and $1658.18 for a mid-tier or top-tier Swampscott home respectively. Compare this to, the same replacement in Boston may get you somewhere between $1203.84 and $1678.76.
Single-Pane to National Vinyl
When upgrading from low-efficiency single-pane windows, the potential is even greater. Swampscott homeowners could see an estimated home value increase of between $3523.74 for mid-tier homes and $4913.88 for the top tier. Compare this to between $3632.64 and $5065.74 in Boston.
In other words, a window investment in Swampscott can add anywhere from 0.22% percent and 0.89 % percent to the asking price of your home through the energy efficiency premium buyers have shown a willingness to pay. Add to this the aforementioned +72.3% retained upfront value of your windows, and National Vinyl’s lifetime warranty, the value proposition for a Swampscott homeowner is quite strong.
The variation between the range for Swampscott and Boston, which for reference, would yield a potential premium range of 0.22% percent and 0.31% percent respectively, is derived from a number of factors, principally; the -0.14% percent difference in median home prices, a buyers’ willingness to pay more for energy savings at a given price range in the Boston-Cambridge-Newton region, and energy cost differences between Swampscott and Boston.
