There are several remedies for this. It's not your seal. As another commenter said it's humidity inside. Open your windows for a little bit in the morning (like 10 minutes), you can put bowls of salt on the sills (never done this but apparently it helps), you can get moisture absorption beads. When I lived in England where this is very common in the winter, I just had a towel and dried them every day. It's not a huge deal, especially if it's only for a week.

there is the saying "everything is bigger in texas", and that generally can extend to the size of someone's house, height of ceilings etc in many cases. this means that while wiping all the windows daily might be an effective fix for a small to medium sized home or apartment, it could be a big hassle for a family home.

personally, my solution has always been either opening the place up briefly like you said, or a big honking dehumidifier that can hold a few gallons of water, so you only have to empty it out occasionally.
