Is your credit ready for you to buy a home? 🏠 Your credit score doesn’t have to be perfect to become a homeowner, but I always encourage improving your credit score to at least the mid 600’s before buying a home. Why?
1. A home is likely the largest purchase you will ever make, so understanding your finances and getting them in order is always a good first step.
2. A higher credit score usually means a lower interest for you, so that is to your long-term advantage as well.
The best time to start preparing is BEFORE you’re ready to make an offer. A little planning now can make a big difference later!
