Located in one Austin’s most popular suburbs, this home was the ideal canvas for an efficient transformation. With a strong projected spread between purchase price and ARV, this property was the ideal candidate for a transformation with a sound return potential.

The remodel centered on elevating a well-located home through strategic updates designed to enhance curb appeal and livability. The roof was replaced, and both the interior and exterior were repainted to create a clean, refreshed look. Bathrooms were updated with new tile and fixtures, while the existing kitchen cabinets were restored and repainted in a crisp white finish—achieving a sleek, modern aesthetic without unnecessary expense.

The Strategy

1. ARV Potential — At a $420k purchase price, the projected ARV ensured a solid return relative to the scope of work.
2. Existing Bones — Architectural layout and lot size provided a strong foundation for efficient updates and visual transformation.
3. Neighborhood — Located near highly rated schools in Austin’s 2nd rated school district ensured appeal to target buyer segment.
1. Resale Metrics — The area is known for its stability and quick on-market times, supporting confidence in the resale and investor ROI.
1. Lot Size — Expansive backyard offered lifestyle appeal and increased resale desirability.
2. Ideal Layout — The property’s solid structure and existing layout minimized the need for major construction, allowing resources to focus on design and finish quality.
1. Volatile Climate — The broader market climate in early 2025 was unpredictable, with fluctuating buyer confidence and shifting interest rates. Bloom mitigated these risks through disciplined budgeting, prioritizing essential updates, and maintaining flexibility in exit strategy to preserve profitability.
