Upgrading your windows to EnergyStar rated National Vinyl windows may add to 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 answer the question : What’s the return on energy savings when it comes time to sell? This is what we found in West Point:
Basic Dual-Pane to National Vinyl
If you already have dual-pane windows (non-EnergyStar rated), in West Point, your home value could increase by around $1257.85 and $1840.65 for a mid-tier or top-tier West Point 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. West Point homeowners may yield an estimated home value gain of between $4069.93 for mid-tier homes and $5955.67 for the top tier. Compare this to between $2712 and $3968.56 in Buffalo.
Another way to look at it, a window investment in West Point can add between 0.37% percent and 1.73 % percent to the sale price of your home by way of the energy efficiency premium buyers have shown a willingness to pay. Add to this the aforementioned +72.3% retained initial value of your windows, and National Vinyl’s lifetime warranty, the value proposition for a West Point homeowner is relatively strong.
The variation between the range for West Point and Buffalo, which for reference, would yield a potential premium range of 0.3% percent and 0.44% percent respectively, is derived from a number of factors, in particular; the 2.28% percent difference in median home prices, a buyers’ willingness to pay more for energy savings at a given price point in the New York-Newark-Jersey City region, and energy cost differences between West Point and Buffalo.
