We just sold our home that was 15 years old. Roof was still in excellent condition. But we went ahead and put a new roof on anyway because we felt it would be an issue for many buyers. Our realtor agreed. Especially since insurance companies prefer your roof to be less than 15.

Did we recover any of the cost? That's hard to say. I would guess some, maybe 50% or less.
The home we moved to got a new roof in February, so that was a plus in our minds since the home is 17 years old.
