Your credit score plays a major role in the home buying process — and having a higher score can save you thousands over the life of your loan.
Lenders use your credit score to determine the risk of lending to you. A higher score often means a lower interest rate, which can dramatically reduce your monthly payment and the total cost of your mortgage.
With a higher score, you may qualify for a wider range of loan programs — including conventional, FHA, VA, and better terms from private lenders.
Some programs offer low or even zero down payment options for buyers with strong credit.
In a competitive market, sellers and agents may view you as a more qualified and reliable buyer, which can give you an edge when making an offer.
Start by checking your credit score, paying down debt, and avoiding new credit inquiries in the months before buying. If you're not sure where you stand, The Keith Kennedy Group can connect you with trusted mortgage professionals to help you get on track.
