Income, Credit, Assets, and Property
Credit and mortgage pricing
Short answer
Credit history and credit scores can affect mortgage eligibility and pricing, but they are only part of the analysis.
Detailed explanation
Credit history and credit scores can affect mortgage eligibility and pricing, but they are only part of the analysis.
Loan type, property, occupancy, loan-to-value ratio, income, assets, market conditions, lender guidelines, and other factors can also affect the result. Mortgage credit-report models may differ from consumer-facing score products.
What this means for you
Do not assume a score by itself establishes approval or exact pricing. Review the complete scenario and ask which credit information and model were used.
