Getting your mortgage approved is an exciting milestone, but the process isn't over until your home officially closes.
One mistake some buyers make is taking on new debt before closing. Financing a new car, opening a new credit card, or purchasing furniture and appliances on credit can change your financial situation.
For example, if you finance a $40,000 vehicle before your mortgage closes, your monthly debt payments increase. Your lender may need to reassess your application, which could affect your mortgage approval or the amount you're able to borrow.
The safest approach is to keep your finances as stable as possible until the purchase is complete and you've received the keys.
Waiting a few extra weeks can help avoid unnecessary complications during one of the biggest financial decisions you'll make.
If you're buying a home and aren't sure what financial changes to avoid before closing, I'd be happy to walk you through the process.
