Hardie Board vs Vinyl Siding Question

[Alex Smith]

Hi all,

We are looking to build a couple ground up construction single family houses near Charlotte NC. The goal is to immediately sale the house once completed.

The house is 2,000 SqFt and comes with Vinyl. I can upgrade it to Hardie board for $15K.

The price point to sell the house is right at $350,000.

What are your thoughts on the ROI of adding the 15K to upgrade vinyl to Hardie?

It is in a rural area where there are not any comps of new construction sold without 5 years.

Thanks

2,000 sf house at That price point and rural I would go with vinyl siding. If it were $500k or more I would go hardi but if this is more entry level / middle of road home go with vinyl.
