Why Credit Matters for Mortgages
Your credit score has a direct impact on your mortgage approval and the rates you qualify for
A difference of just 50 points in your credit score can mean 0.5% higher interest rates, costing you tens of thousands over the life of your mortgage.
Higher credit scores increase your chances of mortgage approval and give you access to a wider range of lenders and mortgage products.
Better credit scores can reduce required down payment amounts and help you qualify for better mortgage insurance rates.

Credit Building Tips
Practical strategies to improve and maintain your credit score
Payment history is the most important factor. Set up automatic payments to never miss a due date.
Keep credit card balances below 30% of limits. Aim for under 10% for best results.
Length of credit history matters. Keep older accounts open even if you don't use them often.
Too many hard inquiries can lower your score. Space out credit applications by at least 6 months.
Check your credit reports regularly for errors. You're entitled to free reports from all three bureaus annually.
Having different types of credit (cards, loans, etc.) can positively impact your score over time.
