However, having a score above 700 significantly increases your chances of getting approved and securing a lower interest rate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Keep reading to find out more about the Texas market so you can prepare yourself for purchasing a home in the Lone Star state.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-is-a-credit-score\">What is a credit score?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A credit score is measurement used by lenders to determine your creditworthiness (or the likelihood of you paying off your debts). The most commonly used score is the FICO credit score, which generally ranges between 300 and 850; the higher your credit score, the less risky you\u2019re deemed as a borrower.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Credit scores are based on the information from your credit report, including data about your current loans and balances, your payment history, your outstanding debts, and incidents of bankruptcies.\u00a0More specifically, your credit score is made up of five factors, each of which is weighted differently:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Payment history: 35 percent<\/li><li>Amounts owed: 30 percent<\/li><li>Credit history length: 15 percent<\/li><li>Credit mix: 10 percent<\/li><li>New credit: 10 percent<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Credit scores are commonly broken down as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>800-850: Exceptional<\/li><li>740-799: Very Good<\/li><li>670-739: Good<\/li><li>580-669: Fair<\/li><li>300-579: Poor<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-does-my-credit-score-affect-my-mortgage-interest-rates\">How does my credit score affect my mortgage interest rates?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>For a conventional mortgage, your credit score is one of the main factors considered when reviewing your mortgage application. For this reason, many people try to improve their credit score when they know they&#8217;ll be purchasing property in the next few years.&nbsp;Your credit score can also impact how large a mortgage you qualify for, your interest rate, and the loan terms<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As your mortgage is such a large loan, securing the best interest rate possible is crucial. A difference of 1 percent in your mortgage loan can cost you significantly. For example, let&#8217;s look at a person purchasing a $300,000 home with a 30-year loan term. The difference between securing an interest rate of 5.50 percent and 5.25 percent means paying nearly $17,000 more in interest over the life of the loan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-credit-score-do-i-need-to-buy-a-house-in-texas\">What credit score do I need to buy a house in Texas?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1500\" height=\"700\" src=\"https:\/\/www.creditrepair.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/CR-Blog-images-Template-not-social-36.png\" alt=\"You\u2019ll need a score of at least 620 to be approved for a conventional loan in Texas, but there are many options for you if your score sits below 620 (see below).

Remember, mortgage lenders look at your credit score in conjunction with other financial factors when determining if you qualify for a loan.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unfortunately, even a score of 620 doesn\u2019t guarantee loan approval. Ideally, prospective buyers in Texas should aim to have a credit score of 760 or greater to increase the chances of approval and securing the best interest rate possible.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-is-the-average-credit-score-needed-to-buy-a-house\">What is the average credit score needed to buy a house?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Generally, the higher the credit score, the better your chances of getting accepted for loan approval. The good news is that if you don\u2019t qualify for a conventional loan (minimum credit score of 620 required) there are many other options for home loans for your to look into.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The<a href=\"https:\/\/www.creditrepair.com\/blog\/mortgage-and-housing-information\/what-score-to-buy-a-house\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> different types of mortgage loans<\/a> and their minimum credit score requirements are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Conventional loan:<\/strong> Credit score of 620 or higher and a 3% to 5% minimum down payment.<\/li><li><strong>USDA loan:<\/strong> If you\u2019re looking to purchase rural property in Texas, you could potentially qualify for a loan from the USDA\u2019s Single-Family Housing Direct Home Loan Program. USDA loans don\u2019t technically have minimum requirements, but typically borrowers need a credit score of at least 640 to qualify.\u00a0<\/li><li><strong>VA loan:<\/strong> The Veteran Benefits Administration offers qualifying veterans, service members, and spouses VA loans, a type of government-backed mortgage. Similar to the USDA loan, the VA loan doesn\u2019t have a minimum requirement, but people typically need a score of at least 640 to be approved.\u00a0<\/li><li><strong>TDHCA loans:<\/strong> Texas has two state-specific programs to help individuals purchase a property: <a href=\"https:\/\/thetexashomebuyerprogram.com\/products\/my-first-texas-home\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">My First Texas Home<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/thetexashomebuyerprogram.com\/products\/my-choice-texas-home\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">My Choice Texas Home<\/a>. My First Texas Home is available to all first-time homebuyers, veterans, and homebuyers who haven\u2019t purchased a property in the last 3 years that meet certain income guidelines. My Choice Texas Home is a program for those who don\u2019t qualify for the My First Texas Home program. Both of these programs have a minimum credit score requirement of 620.\u00a0<\/li><li><strong>Federal Housing Administration (FHA) loan:<\/strong> FHA loans require a credit score of at least 580, with a down payment between 3.5%-10%. However, lenders with a score between 500 and 579 may still qualify if they have a down payment of at least 10%.\u00a0<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-can-i-get-a-mortgage-with-bad-credit\">Can I get a mortgage with bad credit?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, it\u2019s possible to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.creditrepair.com\/education\/counseling\/buying-a-home-with-poor-credit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">get a mortgage with bad credit<\/a>. As listed above, many programs work with people with lower credit scores. Often, being strong in other areas\u2014such as having a sizable down payment\u2014can make up for a low credit score.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember that getting a mortgage with poor credit likely means you\u2019ll get a high interest rate and less favorable lending terms. This means your mortgage will likely cost you more, so it can be very beneficial to focus on improving your score before you apply.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-other-factors-do-mortgage-lenders-look-at\">What other factors do mortgage lenders look at?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1500\" height=\"700\" src=\"https:\/\/www.creditrepair.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/CR-Blog-images-Template-not-social-37.png\" alt=\"What other factors do mortgage lenders look at?The size of your down payment\u00a0\nIncome and savings\nEmployment history\u00a0\nDebt-to-income (DTI) ratio\nBank statements\n1-2 years of tax returns\u00a0\nThe assessed value of your home\" class=\"wp-image-362463\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.creditrepair.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/CR-Blog-images-Template-not-social-37.png 1500w, https:\/\/www.creditrepair.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/CR-Blog-images-Template-not-social-37-300x140.png 300w, https:\/\/www.creditrepair.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/CR-Blog-images-Template-not-social-37-600x280.png 600w, https:\/\/www.creditrepair.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/CR-Blog-images-Template-not-social-37-768x358.png 768w, https:\/\/www.creditrepair.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/CR-Blog-images-Template-not-social-37-450x210.png 450w, https:\/\/www.creditrepair.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/CR-Blog-images-Template-not-social-37-900x420.png 900w, https:\/\/www.creditrepair.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/CR-Blog-images-Template-not-social-37-1400x653.png 1400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Your credit score is an integral part of your mortgage application, but it\u2019s not the only thing mortgage lenders look at.

Some actions you can take to improve your credit score are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Paying down existing debts<\/li><li>Making sure you pay all your bills on time and in full, if possible<\/li><li>Keeping your credit utilization under 30 percent<\/li><li>Keeping your oldest accounts open (even if you don\u2019t use them)<\/li><li>Avoiding applying for new credit, so you don\u2019t have hard inquiries into your account<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, you&#8217;ll want to review your credit report and ensure you don\u2019t have any inaccurate or false information on your file.
