    Why Your Credit Score Matters When Buying a Home

    ​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.


    ​Here’s why working on your credit score before buying is so important:​

    1. Better Interest Rates​

    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.

    2. More Loan Options​

    With a higher score, you may qualify for a wider range of loan programs — including conventional, FHA, VA, and better terms from private lenders.

    3. Lower Down Payments​

    Some programs offer low or even zero down payment options for buyers with strong credit.

    4. Stronger Buyer Position​

    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.

    A Tip from Keith Kennedy

    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.
