1) For those of you that were new buyers of a resale (not new) home, was the age of the roof a negotiation point in the purchase price? For example, if the roof was more than 10 years old, was the fact that you would have a problem with obtaining an insurance policy help the price?
2. Did your realtor help you out with sourcing an insurance policy during the process? Was there a discussion with the insurance about adjustments if an old roof was replaced in the first year?
3. For those of you that got a new roof - say within the last 2-3 years - could you please give me a ballpark size of your roof and a ballpark price for the replacement (PM me if you don't feel comfortable sharing $$ amounts)
4. For new buyers - did you get an "as-is" contract or a "non as-is" contract when you purchased your home in TV?
Many thanks in advance,
Kevin

Everything is subject to negotiation. While you are negotiating the seller may well decide to sell to someone else.
Our previous home, not in Florida, was fairly priced, we sold it for full asking price and a cash deal. The sale, THE CONTRACT SAID AS IS. There was nothing wrong with the house but I was not willing to be on the hook for years and out of state. I seem to recall in NY you if, you sold it as is need to surrender $500 to the buyer. That is what most everyone does.
