Question of the Day . . .

Q:  My friend told me if I replaced all the wood windows in my 40 year old ranch home here in Briarcliff, that when I sell it next year, I will get more money for my house. Is this true?

A: Great question.  As with most home  improvement projects, the  main reason you do them is to use them.  Seeing as you are moving within a year, and assuming the windows are in good working order, I would recommend leave them be.  If you were planning on staying in the home for several years, then I'd recommend you go forward - you will re-cap your investment in ease of use and utility savings.  New windows will help maintain the value of your home, and will make it much more attractive to potential buyers, but do not expect to add the total cost of the project to the top of the market value.
