When we built our addition onto our home, we made a decent-sized 1 BDR rowhouse into a 3 BDR home liveable for a family. Intuitively, this increases the number of potential buyers, thus increasing the home's worth more than fixit home improvements. Further, we mainly did our addition to improve our living situation, so that we were more comfortable. Dwight,

I don't think I can afford to replace them all together so I'll try checking my seals first. So many of us can save some money with a little home improvements. In the long run the repairs will most likely pay for themselves. I needed to listen to this podcast today because I need to insulate around my windows a little better or replace them totally.
