Last year we sold my late MIL’s Lakeland, FL house that was built in 2000. Realtor said we needed to replace the 15 year old roof. Checked with our State Farm agent to see if this was true. We were told that State Farm wouldn’t insure a house older than 20 years under any circumstances. Even with the new roof, buyers had to really shop around before they could get insurance.
