Description
Value You Can Measure
Washington homeowners have plenty good reasons to change their windows. Repairing broken windows, renewing the look and feel of your home etc… Other such benefits should be counted quite accurately.
To start, windows conserve 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.
With regards to energy savings, houses in Washington, may experience dramatic decreases on weekly expenditures for energy. If you already have dual pane windows you could save around $108.92 compared to $100 in Atlantic City. By comparison, when upgrading single-pane windows to National Vinyl’s EnergyStar rated windows you could save approximately $333.74 per year, compared to $274 in Atlantic City.

Switching 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 estimate : What’s the premium for energy savings when selling the house? Below is what we estimated in Washington:
Basic Dual-Pane to National Vinyl
If you already have dual-pane windows (non-EnergyStar rated), in Washington, your home value could increase by between $653.52 and $956.31 for a mid-tier or top-tier Washington home respectively. For comparison, the same replacement in Atlantic City could add somewhere between $600 and $878.
Single-Pane to National Vinyl
When upgrading from low-efficiency single-pane windows, the potential is even greater. Washington homeowners could yield an estimated home value increase of between $2002.43 for mid-tier homes and $2930.23 for the top tier. Compare this to between $1644 and $2405.72 in Atlantic City.
Another way to look at it, a window upgrade in Washington can add between 0.29% percent and 1.28 % percent to the value of your home via the energy efficiency premium buyers have shown a willingness to pay. Combined with the aforementioned +72.3% retained initial value of your windows, and National Vinyl’s lifetime warranty, the value proposition for a Washington homeowner is quite strong.
The variation between the range for Washington and Atlantic City, which for reference, would yield a potential premium range of 0.26% percent and 0.38% percent respectively, can be estimated from a number of factors, in particular; the 0.99% percent difference in median home prices, a buyers’ likelihood to pay more for energy savings at a given price point in the Allentown-Bethlehem-Easton region, and heating & cooling price differences between Washington and Atlantic City.
The data presented is based on EnergyStar, the NREL,Department of Energy and incredible research executed by the National Association of Homebuilders. Washington home value data is provided by Zillow.
