Lesson to be learned. Don’t be so personalized with your home you will want to sell later. The way to sell a home is to de-personalize it.

Hollywood celebrities have been struggling to sell their luxury homes, and real estate experts say the A-list allure that once made celebrity properties easy to move has lost its shine. Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are among the high-profile names caught in this trend, with their home sitting on the market despite repeated attempts to find a buyer.

Good on time rental payments helps you get approved for a mortgage…

You've been paying rent on time for years and it's never once helped you qualify for a mortgage. Fannie Mae just changed that.

And for millions of Americans with thin credit files this is genuinely significant.

Here's what actually changed.

Starting November 16, 2025 Fannie Mae eliminated the minimum 620 credit score requirement for Desktop Underwriter loans. Instead of relying on a single credit score DU now looks at your full financial picture including rent payments, utility history, income stability, and overall payment behavior.

Then in April 2026 they went further.

Fannie Mae announced that lenders can now use VantageScore 4.0, a credit scoring model that incorporates rent and utility payment history in mortgage origination decisions.

"If you paid your rent for 10 years, that should be factored into your credit score," said FHFA Director Bill Pulte. He estimated the change could affect tens of millions of Americans.

Here's who this actually helps.

Long term renters without significant consumer debt. Younger workers who have delayed borrowing. Self employed workers whose payment patterns don't align with traditional credit scoring models.

People who have been financially responsible in every measurable way but got locked out of homeownership because the old scoring system never counted their biggest monthly expense.

Now for the important caveat.

Rent and utility data only help if landlords or rent reporting services actually send this information to the credit bureaus. Most renters still do not have their payments automatically reported though participation is slowly rising.

So the first step if you want to benefit from this change is making sure your rent payments are actually being reported. Services like Experian RentBureau, Rental Kharma, and LevelCredit can help with that.

The system just got more fair. Now you have to know how to use it.
