Great point, but a roof isn't really an upgrade.
We were in that exact situation. The home we were selling had the original roof. It was still in great shape but was 14 years old. Our realtor suggested we replace it to make more attractive to potential buyers. She said the buyer would ask us for a new roof as part of the purchase anyway.

And some buyers won't even look at one with an older roof. Anyway, we replaced it and sold it in about a month. But we also priced it fairly according to the current market.
That was about 14 months ago.
