FreeStuffEngine.com - Replacement Windows Enhance Sale Value of Older Homes - Big Return on Invested Dollars By Bryon Best

For Immediate Release:

The home buying real estate market is so complex. Every day something new gets added to the mix to confuse things even more. Everyone has the best ideas on when to buy, when to sell, how to market and what the perfect pricing formula is. With so many people claming that their way is best, one thing is for sure, and that is, that they can?t all be right, right?

In all the clutter of information, one thing stands out as almost universal in the real estate market among buyers, sellers, analysts, brokers and realty companies, and that is that when selling older homes, investing in new replacement windows, adds value and salability. Statistics show that new replacement windows, can add 22% to the value of a home, and increase its chance of being sold in a timely manner, which saves even more money for the seller

Let?s do some math. If a home has a market value of $180, 000 and by adding new replacement windows, that value rises to $219.600; it?s not hard to see the value in those new replacement windows, when the average cost per home to have new replacement windows installed is $20,000 or less. In round figures, that?s double the return on money invested, even if the cost of the job needs to be financed.

Add to that the fact that the property just became more saleable, decreasing the amount of time a property might spend on the market before being sold, thus decreasing interest payments on money owed. Rocket science is not a prerequisite here.

Be advised, there are some dos and don?ts involved with new replacement windows. For the best return, always use quality windows, ones that add to the look of the home, as well as ones that employ money saving energy efficiency. When considering a contractor to do the job, check references, and ask to view previous work completed. The best advice, when more then one or two windows are involved, is to seek out a professional, because a job gone bad, can be more costly then the most expensive contractor might have charged.
