A damaged roof could deter buyers, causing your house to stay on the market for longer than you’d like.

What Is the Roof’s Current Condition?

If the roof appears damaged, have it inspected by a professional.

Knowing the cost of repairs can help you decide what to do.

Should You Replace the Roof or Sell the House As-Is?

If your house needs major work, buyers will be reluctant to make an offer.

If your roof has damage, it should be replaced before you sell the house.

If you can’t afford to replace the roof, you might be able to sell your house, but be ready to accept an offer that’s lower than you would like.
