I agree that most improvements will never be fully recouped when selling the house. I just was wondering what was the typical impact on the appraisal and resale value.
For a new owner, if the roof is 17 years old then there is the consideration that insurance will probably be more difficult to get plus they will have to pay for a new roof in the next couple of years or sooner. This would be even a bigger factor if they were trying to finance it.
