Description
Value You Can Measure
Troy homeowners have many good reasons to upgrade their windows. Replacing old windows, refining the style of your home etc… Other such values should be counted rather accurately.
Firstly, windows maintain 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, households located in Troy, could experience important drops on monthly expenditures for home energy. If you already have dual pane windows you may save around $181.06 compared to $174 in Buffalo. On the other hand, when upgrading single-pane windows to National Vinyl’s EnergyStar rated windows you could save about $496.83 per year, compared to $452 in Buffalo.
Improve your Troy Home’s Value through Energy Savings
[lme-module module=”market-stats” city=”Troy” state=”NY”]
Upgrading your windows to EnergyStar rated National Vinyl windows could 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.
In addition, many buyers are willing to pay a premium for energy savings. Here we try to estimate : What’s the premium for energy savings if you put your house up for sale? Below is what we discovered in Troy:
Basic Dual-Pane to National Vinyl
If you already have dual-pane windows (non-EnergyStar rated), in Troy, your home value could increase by around $1086.36 and $1589.7 for a mid-tier or top-tier Troy home respectively. Compare this to, the same replacement in Buffalo could add somewhere between $1044 and $1527.72.
Single-Pane to National Vinyl
When upgrading from low-efficiency single-pane windows, the potential is even greater. Troy homeowners could yield an estimated home value gain of between $2980.95 for mid-tier homes and $4362.13 for the top tier. Compare this to between $2712 and $3968.56 in Buffalo.
Put differently, a window investment in Troy can add between 0.71% percent and 2.87 % percent to the sale price of your home via 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 Troy homeowner is relatively strong.
The variation between the range for Troy and Buffalo, which for reference, would yield a potential premium range of 0.69% percent and 1% percent respectively, may come from a number of factors, particularly; the 0.45% percent difference in median home prices, a buyers’ likelihood to pay more for energy savings at a given price point in the Albany-Schenectady-Troy region, and heating & cooling cost differences between Troy and Buffalo.
