What this means if you are selling in Travis County
40% of homes here were built between 2000 and 2019. Most are structurally newer, so the usual work before a resale is cosmetic: paint, flooring, fixtures and replacing builder-grade finishes, plus the first roof and air-conditioning replacements on the older ones.
