'Renoviert' (renovated) is the past participle of the verb 'renovieren' (to renovate). It is very commonly used like a normal adjective to describe the condition of something.
Sie zogen in ein frisch renoviertes Haus am Stadtrand.
They moved into a freshly renovated house on the outskirts of town.
Pay attention to the difference in sentence construction: 'Die Wohnung ist renoviert' (the apartment is renovated) describes the finished state. 'Die Wohnung wird renoviert' (the apartment is being renovated) describes the action that is currently happening.
Unsere alte Küche ist jetzt komplett renoviert und sieht toll aus.
Our old kitchen is now completely renovated and looks great.
This adjective is almost always used in connection with buildings and rooms. Common combinations are 'renovierte Wohnung' (renovated apartment), 'renoviertes Bad' (renovated bathroom), or 'renoviertes Haus' (renovated house).
Auf dem Portal werden viele renovierte Altbauwohnungen angeboten.
Many renovated apartments in old buildings are being offered on the portal.
new
'neu' and 'renoviert' can both sound positive when talking about apartments, houses, or rooms. 'neu' means that something was created, bought, or changed only a short time ago. 'renoviert' means that something already existed before but has been repaired, painted, or modernized. So a renovated apartment is not necessarily newly built. Learners may confuse the words because renovated rooms often look new. If you mean that a building was really newly built, 'neu' is more precise; if work was done on an old room, 'renoviert' fits better.
Nach drei Wochen Arbeit ist das Bad endlich renoviert.
After three weeks of work, the bathroom is finally renovated.
Neben dem Bahnhof steht ein neues Wohnhaus.
