I can tell you when I was looking for houses in the Villages, one of my criteria was a roof not older than 5 years or a price to compensate for replacement cost + hassle. Mostly, I focused on houses with newer roofs. So, while I doubt if you recoup the investment, your house will probably sell sooner.
