“Buyers are becoming more energy conscious,” he says. That includes not only appliances, but also good-quality insulated windows, energy-efficient heating systems and a furnace that’s been recently replaced.
Naples suggests buyers should make note of the energy costs associated with the homes they are considering purchasing, as well as the home maintenance records, in particular for the furnace and air conditioning. Homeowners, in general, should be mindful of keeping thorough maintenance records.
Significantly, for the first time in four years, improved resale value of residential housing had more of an influence in the cost-value ratio than construction costs. A modest 2.2% increase in average national construction costs was more than offset by an 11.5% improvement in average national resale value. This reverses a trend that began in 2010–11, when construction costs dropped dramatically, but resale values dropped even more, driving the ratio down. The situation began to change when lower costs were mainly responsible for across-the-board improvement in the cost-value ratio. While this was good news for the remodeling market, costs remained volatile and housing values had yet to stabilize. In what is perhaps the most positive sign in this year’s data, rising resale value is driving the overall market improvement.
Replacements—especially door, window, and siding projects—once again outperformed larger discretionary remodeling projects, when judged solely by national ranking Remodelers.
