Newcastle Homes

It’s no secret the housing market is tough, especially in Austin and especially for first-time homebuyers. One solution is renovating existing housing stock. There are still deals to be had in the resale market in Austin if you know where to look. Finding a fixer upper can get you on the housing ladder and into a home built for you.

LOCATION

The location of a home is the biggest factor in the value of a home, and that is especially true in Austin. 

CONDITION

The age and condition of a home will be a major factor in determining if it should be renovated. A home in good condition in need of an update is the perfect candidate for remodeling.

POSSIBILITIES

What you can build on your lot is determined in large part by city code, trees and any covenants restricting the property. Newcastle Homes is particularly adept at maximizing the buildable square footage of a home and we can do the due diligence you need to proceed with your project with absolute confidence.
