Property Overview

Cedar Park, TX 78613| 1,500 sqft | 3 BD | 2 BA

Located in one Austin’s fastest growing suburbs, this single-family home was the ideal canvas for a transformation. Though the initial condition of the property was poor, the competitive purchase price compared to the neighborhood’s median sale price insured a healthy margin relative to the project scope.

The remodel for this project focused on transforming a dated property into a fresh, move-in-ready home through smart, efficient updates. The flooring was replaced throughout, both bathrooms and the kitchen were fully modernized, and the entire interior and exterior received new paint for a clean, cohesive finish.


The Strategy

    1. ARV Potential — At $280,000 purchase price and an area median sale price in the the 380s, there was strong potential relative to the project scope.

    2. Neighborhood — The neighborhood’s quiet setting and established character made it an attractive investment opportunity. Moreover, it’s proximity to schools, shopping, and dining increased the properties sale potential.

    1. Area — Located in a highly desirable area with historically short on-market times, ensuring strong buyer demand.

    2. Market Conditions — At the time remained positive, supporting steady resale activity and confidence in the investment.

    1. Material Efficiency — Strategically selected design materials to align with the home’s price point balanced quality and cost efficiency. This was ideal for a budget-conscious renovation and budget-conscious buyers.

    2. Large Backyard — The large, open backyard offered an uncommon advantage for the neighborhood and a major draw for buyers.

    3. Ideal Layout — The simple, functional layout offered flexibility for modern design improvements without major structural changes.

    1. Poor Initial Condition — While the cosmetic work was significant, thorough inspection revealed strong bones, allowing Bloom to focus on upgrades that maximized value rather than major repairs.
