How the scoring system works

Our home scoring system evaluates properties across multiple categories including general features, garage, mechanicals & structure, kitchen, and bathrooms. Each category contains multiple criteria that are rated on a scale of 1-4 or as yes/no values.

Points are calculated based on the ratings and weighted according to their importance. The system also accounts for potential negative factors through deductions, providing a comprehensive final score.

When to use this calculator

This tool is ideal for:

  • Comparing multiple properties objectively
  • Evaluating a property's strengths and weaknesses
  • Identifying potential issues that may affect value
  • Getting a quick assessment of a property's overall condition and features
  • Understanding which aspects of a home might need improvement

Making informed decisions

While our scoring system provides valuable insights, it should be used as one of several tools in your home buying or selling process. Always complement this evaluation with professional inspections, comparative market analyses, and personal preferences.

A lower score doesn't necessarily mean a property isn't right for you - it might simply indicate renovation opportunities or value-add potential. Conversely, a high-scoring property might not perfectly match your specific needs or preferences.
