Don't know why you are being downvoted.

Presenting a single home index value for all of California or all of Texas is near pointless.

Good luck finding a house in Austin that's 315k paying 1.69% in property taxes.

Ok, lets compare SF and Austin then:

San Fransisco: $1,576,808 [0] * 1.18248499% [1] = $18,645.5179

Austin: $661,337 [2] * 2.2267% [3] = $14,725.991

Zillow home value index is not accurate at all in my experience. And Texas does not require property sale prices to be public, unlike most other states.
