Similar-sized homes. Most homes here are close in size (middle half 1,740–2,380 sq ft), so the typical-home range is a fair guide for most of the ZIP. Siding share, trim detail and repairs move it more than size.
Newer homes, first repaint. The typical home here was built around 2016. Builder-grade exterior paint often needs its first repaint after 7–10 years in Houston sun and humidity; the first repaint usually needs fresh caulk around trim and windows more than wood repair.
