Homebuyers are paying more attention to their credit score, now more than ever.
Credit scores in the U.S. range from 300 to 850 (the higher the better), and buyers are trying to stay up the 740 value.
In order to help them reach this goal, let’s check out these three giveaway tips.
Pulling your report before you apply for a mortgage or preapproval should be done a few months in advance. This will give the home buyer enough time to correct any issues you find.
A relevant factor to check is the medical debt, which can gravely affect the final score. Also, reports are free to analyze at least once a year.
This is not so obvious. If a home buyer has a credit limit of 6,000$, uses around 4,000$ a month and always pays on time, this could still lower his score.
Using under 30% (top-notch is under 10%) of the credit card balance ensures a low utilization rate and improves the final score.
Cleaning up and improving future landlords’ credit history is essential, but watch out on the mortgage rates and prices volatility.
If his or her credit score is already between 700 and 740, it could be a wise move to go on with the purchase of a home, while still making an effort to enhance the credit score.
In fact, loosing to much time could end in higher costs coming from the housing market itself.
