The mix of original 1940s–1950s bungalows, full gut-renovations, and new construction creates extreme valuation disparities within the same block. HCAD struggles to differentiate between a $400,000 original bungalow and a $900,000 complete renovation next door, often pulling the original home's assessment far above market value.
