Whatâs the real difference between a 500 vs 700 credit score when buying a home?
It all comes down to purchasing power.
A higher score can mean
⢠Better interest rates
⢠Lower monthly payments
⢠More flexibility with DTI
⢠And ultimately⌠more home for the same budget
A lower score doesnât mean you canât buy, but it does mean the options get tighter.
Same goal⌠very different outcomes depending on the strategy.
