Your score is only one part of the review
Mortgage underwriting can also consider income, employment, debts, assets, payment history, property type and other factors. A score alone does not determine approval.

What Credit Score Do I Need to Buy a House?
There is no single credit score that applies to every mortgage. Credit requirements can vary by loan program, lender guidelines, property and the rest of your financial profile.
Apply Now ↗Different programs can have different guidelines
Conventional, FHA, VA and other programs do not all evaluate credit in exactly the same way. Lender overlays and individual circumstances can matter too.
Your credit can affect more than eligibility
Credit history may influence available pricing, mortgage insurance and the range of programs you can consider. Improving credit before shopping may help in some situations.
Check reports for accuracy
Review your credit reports early enough to address inaccurate information or unresolved issues. Avoid opening unnecessary new accounts while preparing to buy.
Do not assume you must wait
If your credit is not where you want it to be, a mortgage professional can help you understand which factors matter most and whether there are practical steps to improve your position.
Get reviewed before setting a home price
A personalized review gives you more useful information than trying to qualify yourself from a generic score chart online.
