It doesn’t take a real estate expert to know that the housing market in San Diego has been crazy the last few years! Home prices have skyrocketed, and mortgage interest rates went from sub-3% to above 8%. They are now a bit lower than their 2023 highs, but they are still high enough to keep some people from making a move.
Anecdotally, we know of many San Diego homeowners who would like to sell their current home and purchase a larger or newer one, or one in their preferred neighborhood, but feel “stuck” in their current home because they have a super low interest rate. They know that moving will increase their monthly mortgage payment quite dramatically. So, instead of selling and moving, they are choosing to upgrade their current home to make it more like their dream home. For some of these homeowners, this means doing a home addition or a major remodel, but for others, it means completing more practical home improvement projects, such as replacing their home’s windows and doors.
When it comes to home improvement projects, installing new windows and patio doors might not be the most exciting project on your list. You might rather have your home repainted, replace your flooring, or remodel your kitchen, but there are some really great reasons to consider moving window and door replacement to the top of your home improvement list. Here are four reasons why:
Money-saving Benefits
Many home improvement projects will make your home more beautiful or give you more functional space, but how many of them will help you save money over time? When you replace your old windows with new, energy-efficient windows, you will find that you use your heater and air conditioner less often, causing your monthly energy bills to go down—especially in the hot summer months! The longer you stay in your home after having new windows installed, the more money you save!

Good ROI
If you’re looking for a project that will give you a good return on your investment when you do eventually sell your home, replacing your windows is a great choice! According to real estate experts, you can expect to recoup more than 80% of the cost to purchase and install new windows when you go to sell your home down the road. This is because just about all home buyers place value on energy-saving upgrades like new windows, while not everyone may appreciate your personal choices in flooring, kitchen cabinets, or paint colors.
A One-day Project
With other home improvement projects, you can expect your home to be a construction zone for weeks, or even months! When you work with an experienced San Diego replacement window company like BM Windows, you can expect your install to be completed in just one day! (Occasionally, a larger project can require our installers to be in a home for two days.) Replacing your home’s windows is the closest thing you can get to an instant upgrade in your home!
Improved Curb Appeal
Not everyone realizes that replacing the windows in a home can make a big difference in a home’s curb appeal, but it really can! When you choose features that complement and enhance your home’s design, it can help your home stand out in your neighborhood. Those features could include decorative grids, colored frames, or the right frame design to match your home’s style. The BM Windows team can help you select window styles and features that will work best with your home’s existing architecture.
