Replace single paine with double paines????
Hey Guys
I've heard there usually isn't much value in replacing windows but I can do it for a bit less than average...
Would you replace the windows in a flip with an ARV of 300K if you could replace all the windows for about $1500? The house was built in the 70;'s about 1300 square ft and everything else will be updated... worth it? Will I see that return plus some?
Replace or not?

A $300,000 house in Cali sounds like a shack (-; Obviously new windows are a plus and will make a house sell faster but not sure it will make it sell for more. The benchmarks we use are 1. what else has been done on the street. If all the houses in your street have the old windows I would not upgrade. 2. What has been done in your competition? What other houses are for sale in the neighborhood. Do they have single or double pane windows?
Good luck.
