Real Savings

Most home comparisons focus on what it costs to buy, but the real story is how much it costs to live in. This breakdown looks beyond the purchase price to show the full cost of ownership over time, including energy, maintenance, taxes, and financing. When you compare a conventional Vermont home to the Dell Vista 620, a clearer picture emerges: smarter design and high-performance construction don’t just improve comfort, they significantly reduce what you spend year after year.

Raw dollar totals tell one story. Cost per square foot tells another — and it’s worth understanding both, because the two homes are different sizes. The question isn’t just what you spend in total; it’s what you’re getting for each square foot of living space.
