They say kitchens and baths sell homes. But when was the last time you thought about your windows and how old they\u2019re getting?<\/p>\n

\u201cI was dealing with buyers the other day who were willing to cancel a deal because of the substantial cost of window replacement,\u201d says Michelle Minik<\/a>, a top agent who sells 70% more homes than her competitors in the Goodyear, Arizona market. In Minik\u2019s experience, sellers don\u2019t even consider the condition of their windows until the inspection<\/a>, when they\u2019re faced with significant repairs<\/a> and a huge expense.<\/p>\n

Rather than ending up like the folks in this situation \u2014 starting from square one with a broken contract and shabby windows to boot \u2014 stay ahead of the curve with this guide to adding value<\/a> to your house with new windows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
