Fix it. The longer you wait the more expensive it will be. Spend in relation to your anticipated length of stay. Moving soon - spend a little. Moving in 10+ years fix it properly. A fix like this will always be repaid on sale no matter what route you go. Cheap out and the market will adjust the price down. Fix to code and you will at a minimum recoup your costs. Rotten wood/moisture is bad for your health as well.
