Whatever your reasons for selling may be, the decision to place your home on the market is no small one. Once you’ve gotten to this step, though, you’ll need to take some actions toward getting your home ready to sell as it can make all the difference in the amount you gain from the sale. When you properly address areas of concern, it can improve the resale value—and it’s that exact reason why so many homeowners find themselves wondering if they should replace their home’s windows before selling.
If you’re in a similar position, Preservation is here to help you determine whether replacing the windows before selling your home is a good idea.
Examine the State of Your Current House Windows
Are your windows outdated, damaged, or otherwise unsightly? Are they constantly letting in drafts that affect indoor temperatures, increasing your energy bill in the process? If you answered yes to either or both of these questions, a home window replacement likely is a wise investment.
Understanding the Added Value of New House Windows
A window replacement can be a significant project, but the potential return on investment could make it well worth the effort. While many home improvement projects have an ROI of around 20-30%, a window replacement can have a return of about 68% or more according to industry experts like Remodeling Magazine. How can new windows add so much value to a home? To answer that question, you’ll first need to consider that the quality of the replacement windows counts. Premium replacement windows like those crafted by Preservation can impact resale value by improving a home’s:
Curb Appeal
When selling your home, curb appeal counts. While the new owners can make changes if they choose to do so, few people look to move into a home that requires intensive repairs or changes right off the bat—and they certainly aren’t willing to pay as much for it as they would a home that’s already in great condition. When investing in new windows before selling your home, opt for classic styles like double hung that will please virtually any buyer, or go bold with unique ones like bay or garden to add visual interest.
Energy Efficiency
No homeowner enjoys having to make regular trips to the thermostat to adjust the temperature due to drafts let in by outdated, inefficient windows—nor do they enjoy the high energy bill that often comes along with them. Thankfully, Preservation Windows are built with innovative features like fusion-welded frames, high-density carbonized insulation, and more to prevent thermal transfer and improve a home’s energy efficiency.
Durability
When you invest in new windows, you want to make sure they are built to last for the long run. High-performance windows like those by Preservation are worth the cost due to their remarkable durability as this allows the home buyer to feel confident knowing they won’t have to replace the windows again any time soon.
For additional peace of mind, Preservation Windows come with a best-in-class limited lifetime, transferable warranty to offer years of worry-free comfort that protects you and the resale value of your home.
