HES Scores: What Do They Mean For Buyers and Sellers?

By The Dream Digs Team, April 22, 2021

When a home goes on the market in the city of Portland, an HES or Home Energy Score must be listed as well. So for sellers, that is the first thing they can do to get their house ready to list.

What is the HES? Ultimately, the HES offers information about the energy costs of a house. We like to think about it as the house’s “gas mileage”.

The HES gives buyers a more holistic sense of a home’s monthly bottom line. The accompanying report will offer ways to make improvements, if a house doesn’t score a perfect 10. The most common score we see is a 4, and when you complete a purchase, you can make energy improvements to your new home.
