I guess my ? is If it came down to a house that age would the main factor in the insurance rate be the roof above everything else.

Most of the ones we looked at were remodeled and beautiful inside.

Looking for some one that has a house that age with a new or newer roof hat can give me some insight on what they are paying for insurance.
Just factor the cost of a new roof into what you pay for the house. If asking $400,000 with an old roof offer $380,000.

The bond is higher in the new area as are the taxes because you pay Wildwood taxes on top of Sumter county taxes.

The older roof is not the main reason for the cost of your insurance.
