Most of my windows have a broken window seal. I get condensation on the inside when it gets cold. Not sure how old they are.

I don't have any experience with this. Wondering if I should just get the glass replaced or get the whole window replaced? I am going to get estimates for both this week.

Don't plan on being in this house for more than 3-5 years. Is it worth getting the whole window replaced or should I only get the glass done?

When was the house built? How old are the windows.
They're obviously not single-pane, so I'd probably suggest replacing the glass. Should get a decent price if you're replacing multiple panes. Even better if they're all the same size.

Its about 25 years old. Not sure if they are the original windows or not

My windows are 23 yo and do the same thing. I asked my glass guy if it would even be worth it to think about replacing the glass. He said flat out no, just get new windows. Considering he could have made money off saying yes, I took his word for it.

I just brought a glass guy out for a bid to replace 33 sashes of glass on a 20+ year old house I'm buying. Same situation as you, double-panes windows lost their seal, started fogging, and is no longer energy efficient.

To replace the glass for 33 sashes, quoted just under $8K

What was his reasoning on getting new windows vs glass?

Go the cheapest route then. Getting the glass replaced should be cheaper than getting the entire windows replaced - but it won't be a major major savings but still a savings.

If I remember correctly, he said the aluminum frames normally are still going to leak/let in a lot of air.

We built our house 42 years ago. About 15 years ago, we had condensation. We had glass and seals replaced for a fraction of the cost of new window. Nowhere near 8 grand. Maybe $1500.

Did the new glass fix the condensation issue?

The condensation is just on the window frame on mine. Not really on the glass at all
