This is definitely more than a cosmetic issue. The gas filled glass panes have failed and results in a loss of energy efficiency. Yes, it's probably an extremely small loss in efficiency overall/. That coupled with the incredibly high price of homes in The Villages, things should be prim and proper when buying and selling.
Now if it's an older home, say 20 years and up it may be a somewhat fixer upper. Then I would just shrug it off.
