Before putting your home on the market, it's important to fix any issues that could lower your selling price. If your windows are old, broken, or not energy-efficient, replacing them can increase your home’s value and attract more buyers.
According to Zillow, 79% of sellers make improvements before listing, and 90% of buyers want energy-efficient windows. If your windows are damaged or drafty, it could lead to lower offers or failed inspections. Replacing them may make the selling process easier and help you get a better price.
Damaged windows: If the glass is broken or locks aren’t working.
Drafty or inefficient windows: Old windows often let in cold air and increase energy bills, which can turn off buyers looking for energy-efficient homes.
You can sell a home with old windows, but expect buyers to negotiate for repairs or a credit. Replacing windows before listing allows you to control the cost and quality, giving you an advantage in negotiations.
