Not necessarily. For buyers who need a mortgage and cannot get insurance, you can always include a new roof in the contract. But once you buy a new roof, potential buyers will discount the cost you paid for it. I suspect that a lot of houses being sold have roofs that are older than 15 years. They are not all uninsurable.
