What Credit Score Do I Need to Buy a Home?

There is no single credit score that works for every mortgage. The loan program, lender, and the rest of your financial profile affect the decision. Ask a lender to review your actual situation.
Understand the lender’s review
Credit is one part of the application alongside income, debts, assets, and the property. A consumer score you see in an app may differ from the score used for a mortgage.
Prepare before you apply
Review your credit reports for errors and keep payments current. Ask the lender before taking on new debt or making account changes during the mortgage process.
