🏡💳 Trying to buy a home with bad credit? It’s possible, believe it or not. Some loan programs, like FHA, are designed to help buyers with lower scores. But your credit still plays a big role in what kind of mortgage terms you qualify for. Improving your score could mean lower interest rates and more loan options. Start by checking your credit report, paying down debt, and avoiding new credit inquiries. A mortgage lender can also help guide you with specific steps to boost your score.

You can buy a home with bad credit, but following pro tips can help you improve your credit before you apply for a mortgage.

Home purchase applications rose 10% last week and refinance applications jumped 16%, thanks in part to a holiday adjustment and a slight shift in Treasury rates. More listings and easing prices may be helping buyers move forward despite economic uncertainty.

Mortgage rates rose very slightly during the holiday-shortened week, but mortgage demand took a significant leap higher.

🏡 Headlines may be noisy, but the big picture is clear: real estate continues to be a trusted long-term choice. For the 12th year in a row, Americans ranked it the top long-term investment, even as other markets stay volatile. Home prices tend to rise steadily over time, making homeownership a strong option for long-term financial growth, especially if you plan to stay for a while.

Lately, it feels like every headline about the housing market comes with a side of doubt.

Paying off your credit card can boost your credit score and save you money on interest. Learn why it matters and how to manage your balance wisely.
