Doss Elementary attendance zone adds $50K-$100K to comparable sale prices versus non-Doss 78731 homes.
Homes with Hill Country views from elevated lots on Far West, Greystone, or Mesa sell 15-20% above flat-lot comparables.

TCAD Assessment Context

TCAD assessments in Northwest Hills typically lag market value by 15-25% for long-held homes due to the 10% homestead cap. Properties sold in the last 2-3 years are assessed closer to market. Protest success rates are high when recent comps exceed assessed value by $100K+.
