Whether you are buying or selling a home, consider the roof long before a home inspection takes place. Its condition can greatly affect a home sale in Austin. This is not simply because it is a critical part of a home’s structure, but because it is costly to replace. A home inspection may reveal roofing problems which can complicate a sale. Some lenders may hinge financing on the condition of a home’s roof. If it is not sound, they may require roof repair or replacement as the seller’s responsibility before approving the buyer’s loan. This can derail an Austin home sale, much to the dismay of both the buyer and the seller.

Austin has a little bit of something for everyone. As we have talked about before on our York Real Estate blog, you are more likely to find certain types of housing in some areas or neighborhoods than others. For example, if you are looking for a home in one of the most popular school districts in Texas, you have probably heard of Westlake. All homes in Westlake are in the Eanes Independent School District, a favorite among Austin families. There are also some good private schools nearby. For those religious about high school football, Westlake is a popular choice.
