🤔 Could your credit card impact your home-buying plans? 🤔
Your credit card may be small in size.
But it could still have a big impact on your home buying plans if you have one, or multiple, credit cards with a high credit limit.
That's because when lenders assess your borrowing power they tend to look at your credit card limit – not the current card balance.
The bigger the credit limit, the bigger the potential impact on the amount that you can borrow. 😅
And that applies for each credit card you or your partner have open - even if the amount you owe is $0.
So what could you do? 🧐
Well, if you’re not planning to use your card’s full limit, you could consider lowering it (or even closing the account completely).
This could increase your borrowing power and potentially get you over the line for the home loan of your choice. 👍
