What Is a Home Health Score? How to Measure Your Home's Condition

You get a credit score for your finances. You get health metrics from your doctor. But what about your biggest investment — your home? A Home Health Score gives you a single number (0–100) that represents the overall maintenance condition of your property. It's a way to quantify how well you're caring for your home and spot problems before they become emergencies.

How Is a Home Health Score Calculated?

MyHomie's Home Health Score is based on several factors that reflect how well each major system in your home is being maintained:

• •Task completion rate — what percentage of scheduled maintenance tasks have you completed?
• •On-time completion — are tasks being done when they're due, or weeks late?
• •System coverage — are all major systems (HVAC, plumbing, electrical, appliances, exterior) being maintained?
• •Overdue tasks — how many tasks are currently past due?
• •Consistency — are you maintaining a regular cadence, or doing everything in bursts?

What the Score Ranges Mean

• •90–100: Excellent — Your home is in top condition. All systems are well-maintained and up to date.
• •75–89: Good — Most maintenance is on track. A few tasks may be overdue but nothing critical.
• •60–74: Fair — Several areas need attention. You're at increased risk of unexpected repairs.
• •40–59: Needs Work — Significant maintenance has been deferred. Multiple systems may be at risk.
• •Below 40: Critical — Major maintenance gaps. High risk of expensive emergency repairs.

Why Your Home Health Score Matters

Prevent Expensive Repairs

A declining score is an early warning. If your HVAC health drops from 90 to 70, it means tasks are being missed — and a breakdown may be coming. Catching this early is the difference between a $150 tune-up and a $7,500 replacement.

Increase Resale Value

Buyers and inspectors look for maintenance history. A documented record of consistent maintenance — backed by a high health score — gives buyers confidence and can justify a higher asking price. MyHomie's shareable Maintenance Reports let you prove your home's condition with data.

Peace of Mind

Instead of wondering "when did I last service the furnace?" or "is the roof due for inspection?", you can check your score and see exactly where things stand. Green means you're on track. Yellow means attention needed. Red means act now.

How to Improve Your Score

• •Complete overdue tasks first — they have the biggest impact on your score
• •Stay on schedule — on-time completions count more than late ones
• •Cover all systems — don't just focus on HVAC while ignoring plumbing or exterior
• •Log professional services — annual inspections and tune-ups boost your score
• •Be consistent — a steady maintenance habit scores better than sporadic bursts
