To the OP. As a buyer I didn't look at a new roof as something that increased the value of a house. I looked at an old roof as something that decreased the value of a house, I factored in a roof replacement cost in MY valuation of a potential purchase and adjusted target price accordingly. When I shopped for insurance on the house I bought, THEY were certainly interested in the age of the roof.

Me too.
I looked at roof age, HVAC age and bond balance.
I knew I was replacing the kitchen no matter where I bought.
None of these would disqualify a house - location and lot were the #1 factor.
