I agree that increasing the insulation will improve the efficiency of the house, but it is rarely done unless it is requested and paid for by the homeowner building a custom house. House buyers are also not willing to pay extra for upgraded windows, that greatly improve the function of the house. Most buyers don't even look at the windows when viewing a house.
