New homeowners might give you a lot of different reasons as to why they purchased the home they did. Some reasons might be rather small like, they liked the fact that the laundry room was on the main floor or, the home had a three-car garage. Others might be more complicated like, the house was the right price and the right size or, the house was in the right school district and had the right features. But have you ever heard someone say they bought a house because of the Sunnyvale, CA windows it featured? While windows alone may not sell a house, they can take potential buyers a lot further down the road in the right direction. Here are a few reasons why you can sell your home faster (and for more money) if you have new windows installed.
Reason 1: The Curb Appeal
When you drive by a house, looking to purchase something, are you more likely to all the realtor and get a tour on a house with nice, fresh, new windows or a house with run down, old, saggy windows? The answer is obvious and it’s true for every potential buyer. They will look at pictures of your house online or they’ll simply drive by. If they like what they see, they might call the realtor and ask for an inside tour. If they don’t like what they see, they’ll never look inside the house. Curb appeal takes you a long way with potential buyers and allows them to get past the outside and look inside to see what the house offers.
Reason 2: Higher Energy Efficiency
Every buyer wants a home with good, if not great, energy efficiency. They don’t want to pay for high energy bills and neither do you. Many buyers will ask to see old bills, so they know just how much you had to pay for energy. That helps them understand what their own budget would be like within the home. If you have new windows, your energy efficiency will be much higher, and the bills won’t scare off potential buyers. Plus, you’ll save money while you wait for your home to sell, which never hurts. And that higher energy efficiency from the nice, new windows, will push your home’s value up so it will sell for a higher price than it would have otherwise.
While your Sunnyvale, CA windows aren’t the only selling point for your home, they can be a big bonus that can help the home sell faster and for a higher price than it would have before you got the new windows.
