The most important thing to be aware of with insulation, other than the safety issues of urea formaldehyde and asbestos (covered elsewhere), is the R value, or the insulating factor. The higher the number, the better the insulator.
In general, newer homes often have higher R values than those that are 15 years old. While there is no question you could save on heating bills by adding more insulation, sometimes it can take many, many years to recoup the costs, and may not be an appropriate investment for those looking to sell.
If you have questions about how to best prepare your home for sale, please contact me. I am more than happy to take a look at your home and offer you my professional opinion, no strings attached.
