A roof with comp shingle in this market is generally a good sign of an inferior quality property compared to a property with a concrete tile roof. Clay tile roofs are rare as they are very expensive.
In the neighborhoods I have seen, newer homes typically have a tile roof, and an older home has a comp roof. the older homes are more likely to be block and the newer homes are most likely frame.
All things being equal, is the tile roof home worth more than the comp shingle roof? Have you seen a neighborhood of comp roofs, where one person went overboard and decided to install a tile roof? As said before, I do not see an added value, but it would probably sell faster.
I have seen only a few subdivisions of both tile and comp roofs. I think it was an option from the sales office. No value difference in those neighborhoods.
tile roofs used to be all the rage. Yeah, we want tile roofs, because that is what the rich people have on their mansions. Kinda like the lamborghini doors or spinner rims that were put on hondas. After a while everyone can afford them, and they are on almost every house, they are no longer a novelty. Even now, I heard that Lamborghinis are embarassed to have the same doors as the hondas
I just moved from an older comp house to a newer tile house. I did not realize the negatives of a tile roof until I had to put up Christmas lights. Tiles break easy, they are a pain to walk in, if there is a leak, good luck repairing it. If I had to put on a new roof on this house, I would definately consider a 50 year comp roof.
