Think your credit score is the whole mortgage approval story? It's one piece. Lenders may also look at income, monthly debts, assets and the property itself. That's why there's rarely one number that tells the whole story.

If you're thinking about buying, understanding what lenders look at can help you know what to prepare before you start shopping.

The thing you remember about a home probably isn't the square footage. It's the Saturday morning coffee. The messy holidays. The first mark on the doorframe. The little routines that become yours. That's the part of homeownership that doesn't show up on a listing sheet.

What would make a house feel like your home?

Save this for your someday list, and share it with someone who has a picture of home in their head already.

A rate headline can tell you what's happening in the market. It can't tell you what buying a home would look like for you. That's where your own numbers come in. Your price range, loan scenario, down payment and other factors can change the picture.

Before a headline makes you hit pause, make sure you know what it actually means for your situation.

Save this for the next rate headline, and send it to someone who's been watching the market.

The fun part of buying a home is scrolling the listings. The useful part is knowing what you're looking at before you fall in love with one. A little preparation upfront can mean fewer surprises later, especially when it comes to your budget, upfront costs and the people helping you through the process.
And when something doesn't make sense? Ask.

Save this before your first showing, and share it with someone who's officially in house-hunting mode.

You don't have to know what the market will do next to start understanding your options. You can look at what you can control: your budget, your financing options, potential assistance, and what you're comfortable with. That doesn't mean buying is right for everyone or that you need to make a decision today.
It just means you don't have to wait for a perfect market to get informed.

Save this for later, and send it to someone who's been waiting for the market to change.

You made it under contract!

Now is probably not the time to make big financial moves without talking to your loan officer first. Things that seem completely unrelated to your mortgage can sometimes change the financial picture your loan was based on.

When you're this close to closing, a quick question can be worth making.

Save this until closing day, and send it to someone who's under contract right now.

The home appraisal is getting a makeover this fall, and it's worth knowing about.

The report itself is changing. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, which back many conventional loans, are rolling out a new appraisal format called UAD 3.6. It adapts to the type of property being appraised, pairs photos directly with the details they support, and replaces shorthand codes with plain-language descriptions, meaning a clearer, more detailed report for everyone involved in the transaction.

Here's the timeline. PRMG started ordering appraisals in the new format for standard conventional loans on October 1, 2026, ahead of the requirement. Appraisals for those loans are required to use UAD 3.6 starting November 2, 2026.

For your buyers and sellers, there's nothing extra they need to do. The appraisal will be ordered in whatever format the loan requires. What's worth flagging to your clients: they'll typically get a copy of the appraisal, and the new format is designed to make it easier to see how the value was actually determined, which can help head off a confused call after the report lands.

If a deal in your pipeline is moving toward an appraisal, happy to walk through what to expect under the new format before it gets ordered.

Save this and share it with a buyer or seller who has questions about how the appraisal process works.

Here's a question worth asking before you fall in love with a house:

What do I want my monthly budget to feel like? A pre-approval can help you understand what's potentially possible. But your life has to fit around your housing payment, not the other way around.

The biggest number you're approved for doesn't have to be your goal.

Save this before you start house hunting, and send it to someone getting pre-approved.

Your parents may have a very different mortgage story than the one you're seeing today.

Different rates. Different home prices. Different down payments. Different buying conditions.

So if you've ever heard, “We bought our house for $___!” and thought, “Well… that doesn't help me today 😂” — you're not wrong.

The market changes. The numbers change. And your strategy should be based on today's market and your goals, not your parents' experience.

Save this one for the next time someone says, “Back in our day…”
