I am getting ready to sell my home in the next 6 months or so. My current roof is over 30 years old now. I am assuming it will be called out during the home inspection. So should I redo the roof now or give credit during the sale? I am in central Virginia.
If the roof is that old, I would recommend replacing it now. A new roof can significantly increase your home’s value and attract more buyers.
A new roof can be a strong selling point. Buyers often prefer not to deal with major repairs after purchase. It might save you headaches later.
Consider the cost of the roof versus the credit. Sometimes, buyers underestimate repair costs, and a credit might not be perceived as valuable.
If you can afford it, go for the new roof. It gives buyers peace of mind and could lead to a quicker sale.
Check with a local real estate agent to see how much value a new roof could add in your area. It might be worth the investment.
