Something went wrong here. Judging by the age and the neighborhood this should be a truss roof. My son thought a bearing wall was removed, but there would not likely have been a bearing wall in a truss roof. I think somebody cut a chord.

the relative even repeat of the wave.......
freeform ocean design.
or weird ass'd layout centers on the few trusses used.
hopefully this is a guessing game and you are going to knock on the door and get the whole story
It would be interesting to look up in the attic
If a truss chord had been cut the ridge would be sagging.
I dont see the ridge sagging so I doubt there is anything missing or cut. It could be the trusses are spaced at more than 24 inches or that they used 3/8th ply instead of half inch. Even half inch on trusses sags between them some. This looks like sheathing sag on steroids.

Nothing wrong with that roof. It's "Art".
With a capital "A".
Optical illusion. It's one of those roof shingle wave jobs.
The roofing does not appear to be regular shingles, but rather either tile or some sort of metal roof. This may have something to do with it.
(I know I've seen several sagging tile roofs -- tile is rare around here, and on the few you see about half the time it's sagging due to insufficient support.)
