I haven't confirmed this myself.

Locally, I've seen a couple recent insulation jobs where it was going to be $900 and $2200 to DIY, and the quotes from a pro were $1100 and $2600. Hard to justify the work for a couple hundred bucks difference. YMMV
If your planning on reselling in 10 years, I'd hold off on the windows until a couple years before you sell.
