π€ Could your credit card impact your home-buying plans? π€β£
β£
Your credit card may be small in size. β£
β£
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.β£
β£
That's because when lenders assess your borrowing power they tend to look at your credit card limit β not the current card balance.β£
β£
The bigger the credit limit, the bigger the potential impact on the amount that you can borrow. π
β£
β£
And that applies for each credit card you or your partner have open - even if the amount you owe is $0.β£
β£
So what could you do? π§β£
β£
Well, if youβre not planning to use your cardβs full limit, you could consider lowering it (or even closing the account completely).β£
β£
This could increase your borrowing power and potentially get you over the line for the home loan of your choice. πβ£
