Working with a realtor and we told him to only show us houses with new or newer roofs because of all the stories I have heard about insuring with an older roof.

My ? is if purchasing a house in that age range with a new or newer roof is the price of insurance back to reasonable levels.

He is telling me I could expect to pay about 1200-1500 a year with a house that age with a new roof.

I would like to hear from anyone who is actually in that situation.

We just came back from a lifestyle visit and it was everything I expected and more.

Thanks
We have house insured for 300K in Sumter County. Roof is 8 years old and house is a 25 year old frame home and our premium is <$1500. Bought policy before hurricanes in 2022 and suspect that our premiums will be in the 2K range next year.
