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.
We just bought 2000 sq. ft. Home built in 1998. Roof was replaced in 2017. Homeowners insurance is $1,714.

Have both 4 Point Inspection and Wind Mitigation Report done by your Home Inspector (bundled with home inspection for $549). Those two reports/inspections saved us $740/ year on insurance. They are good for 5 years.
