Stop in for a cup of coffee

I understand your thinking, but I’m not sure the pool of buyers in the market then would agree.

To you, it’s a big design feature...to a prospective buyer it may just be a roof that they need to worry about.

Would a dimensional shingle roof really reduce the price by as much or more value as the increased cost of an original roof than you save?
And that depends a lot on what pool of buyers are being targetted. I think you guys are more sophisticated than most of the new home buyers.
The two pools of buyers being considered will be those that care about the curb appeal and character vs those that just want a low maint house.
Ironicly, if the terra cotta is done right, it will be the lowest maintanence.
if you need to sell it quick, then you want the largest pool.
If you want to get max value, then you need the patience to wait for the discriminating buying. We see similar with our cars all the time, right?
