Fogged-up windows: A major obstacle to selling your house this spring?
Spring is approaching, and with it, the peak real estate season. Photographers are already in demand, brokers are preparing their strategies, and serious buyers are starting to shop around.
But before you put up your "For Sale" sign, there's one detail that could cost you dearly: your fogged-up windows.
What the building inspector will write in his report
Let's be clear: during the pre-purchase inspection, the inspector examines each window of your property. And when he sees condensation between the two panes of a thermos, he doesn't ignore it.
⚠️ Typical mentions in an inspection report:
• “Loss of seal”
• “Unsealed thermos”
• “Defective sealed unit – replacement recommended”
It's not a hidden defect if it's visible to the naked eye. But it is a major point of negotiation that the buyer and his broker will undoubtedly use against you.
The painful calculation: Perception vs. Reality
Here's what goes through a buyer's mind when they see condensation on your windows:
