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 figure out : What’s the return on investment on energy savings when selling the house? The following is what we uncovered in Westbrook:
Basic Dual-Pane to National Vinyl
If you already have dual-pane windows (non-EnergyStar rated), in Westbrook, your home value could increase by between $689.72 and $1009.29 for a mid-tier or top-tier Westbrook home respectively. For comparison, the same replacement in Portland may get you somewhere between $702 and $1027.26.
Single-Pane to National Vinyl
When upgrading from low-efficiency single-pane windows, the potential is even greater. Westbrook homeowners may expect an estimated home value gain of between $2245.68 for mid-tier homes and $3286.17 for the top tier. Compare this to between $2346 and $3432.98 in Portland.
Put differently, a window upgrade in Westbrook can add anywhere from 0.25% percent and 1.21 % percent to the sale price of your home through 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 Westbrook homeowner is quite strong.
The variation between the range for Westbrook and Portland, 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, principally; the -0.19% percent difference in median home prices, a buyers’ likelihood to pay more for energy savings at a given price point in the Portland-South Portland region, and energy cost differences between Westbrook and Portland.
