A

¿Estás ya en la nueva casa o todavía no te has mudado?
In this sentence, the speaker uses the adjective “nueva” right before the noun “casa” because he or she already knows that the listener has a new house and will move soon. It is also very common that the speaker skips the new information and goes directly to say another thing based on information that he or she believes is obvious in the context.

Q

I just read a very interesting novel

A

When the adjective is right after the noun, it generally lets us know new information related to the noun. This gives the adjective higher relevance. For example:
Acabo de leer una novela muy interesante.
Vive en una casa modernísima.
