It is important to clearly define what is important to you and your family to have in a new home. Most people focus on how much they can afford to spend, but there are other things to also consider.
Before shopping for that new home, write down a list of things you would like to have in your new home and divide them by essential items and nice-to-have items.
Ask yourself questions such as:
Did you know that every time a lender checks your credit, it lowers your beacon score? So if you go to four or five banks, you just lowered your beacon score because each bank had to check your credit history.
The difference between having a mortgage broker shop for the best mortgage rates rather than you is that the mortgage broker only checks your credit history once.
Consider using a mortgage broker when shopping for the best deal. It costs nothing and it won't damage your credit score.
It is not just about making payments consistently and on time, there is a little bit more to the calculation of your credit score or beacon score as referred to in the mortgage industry. The payment history you have established only accounts for about one third of your actual beacon score. The pie chart below shows the actual breakdown of the beacon score.
Balances owing are a huge factor in the overall credit report. And, the longer you have had a good credit history will increase your score. But watch out, credit card accounts where the balances are at or above the credit limit will dramatically hurt your Beacon score.
