For the first time, every single-family home in America has a Pearl SCORE™ — a rating from 1 to 1,000 that measures how well a home actually performs, not just how it looks. All of those homes are now searchable inside the new Pearl Home Performance Registry™.
Traditional real estate focuses on price, location, and aesthetics. Pearl SCORE™ measures something fundamentally different: how well the physical structure protects your health, maintains comfort, controls costs, and withstands stress.
"Real estate is built on information asymmetry," says Pearl CEO Cynthia Adams. "Every party in a transaction is making decisions with incomplete information about the single largest investment most people will ever make."
Pearl breaks home performance into five pillars that spell SCORE™:
Safety — Protection against mold, radon, carbon monoxide, and poor air quality
Comfort — Temperature consistency, humidity control, noise dampening
Operations — Energy costs, maintenance needs, appliance efficiency
Resilience — Preparedness for extreme weather and natural disasters
Energy — EV readiness, smart systems, solar capability
Most American homes score in the 300s — the "typical" range reflecting decades of varied construction standards.
More buyers want to know what's behind the walls before they commit to purchasing. Pearl SCORE™ gives them comparable data to evaluate operating costs, identify potential issues, and avoid expensive surprises after closing.
For sellers who've invested in high-performance upgrades — solar panels, advanced insulation, smart home systems — Pearl SCORE™ finally provides a way to capture that value in the market.
Pearl has opened its registry to the public in beta. Anyone can view the performance profile of any single-family home in America at pearlscore.com — and homeowners can verify or update their property information by claiming their home inside Pearl app.
