According to research from the National Association of Home Builders, 55% of new homebuyers rated skylights as desirable or essential. This means adding skylights can be a valuable asset when you’re ready to sell, from their eye-catching aesthetic to their natural ability to cool the home without fans or air conditioning.
The exact return on investment is difficult to pin down as it will depend on circumstances such as the type of skylights, the amount installed, location and the housing market. It will ultimately come down to how valuable consistent natural light and fresh air in the home are to your potential homebuyers.
