Here's an example: "Look at that grey house down the street; the people who live there must be very house proud because the yard is beautifully maintained with many gorgeous flowers, the windows are always clean, the driveway is swept and there's a pretty wreath on the door". As you can see it's a complimentary statement about someone's pride in their home.

I think it means being proud of your home.
house-proud - proud of your house or its furnishings or upkeep
proud - feeling self-respect or pleasure in something by which you measure your self-worth; or being a reason for pride; "proud parents"; "proud of his accomplishments"; "a proud moment"; "proud to serve his country"; "a proud name"; "proud princes"
