The more selling points your home has, the easier it is for you to attract buyers to it. In that regard, you’ll want to focus on your windows. They need to be in great shape; otherwise, you should consider having them replaced with newer, better ones. When shopping for them, make sure to take these features into account:
Indoor Comfort
Any discerning home buyer knows that windows play a crucial role in ensuring consistent indoor comfort. Those with insulating properties help slow down heat transfer between the indoors and the outdoors, minimizing heat gain in the summer and heat loss in the winter. In turn, your HVAC system won’t have to work twice as hard to provide heating and cooling, thus prolonging its serviceable life. Features to look for insulated windows include:
- Double- or triple-paned glass
- Inert gas in between the glass panes
- Spectrally selective coating applied on the glass
Even when you aren’t planning to sell your home, choosing energy-efficient windows for your home is a worthwhile investment you’ll want to make.
Weather Resistance
Home buyers also look at windows and how they can stand up well amid the harsh weather. If yours are already showing signs of extensive wear and tear due to age, they may no longer be as weather-resistant as their newer counterparts. While updating the weatherstripping or repairing broken components can help, having them replaced by a reputable window contractor makes more sense. After all, these products are built to be durable and long-lasting.
Minimal Maintenance
When picking new windows prior to selling your property, be sure to consider the framing material’s maintenance requirements. Keep this in mind, as most home buyers don’t want to deal with the taxing chore of cleaning windows every weekend. Look for windows that only require a mixture of water and mild detergent to keep clean, and removable or tiltable sashes.
