Avg. ROI = 81.2% (wood), 79.3% (vinyl)
Keep in mind the geographical area you are in. Vinyl windows may be better suited in some areas where wood or vinyl clad may be the norm in others. Don't over-improve for your neighbourhood and try to avoid strong colours or unique custom components. You may have paid hundreds of dollars extra for that motorized skylight with argon gas but this may not necessarily be an important feature to the buyer.
Did you know wood windows insulate better than the typical vinyl window. Don't discount the traditional wood window! You can buy wood windows that are vinyl clad on the outside or, you can cap all the wood on the outside of your windows!
What is most important in selling your home, is that the windows are not rotting (if wood) or in a deteriorated state with broken seals. Wood windows have a long life span if they are properly maintained.
