Summary
The Credit Score Myth That’s Holding Would-Be Buyers Back . Would-be homebuyers aren’t sitting on the sidelines because they don’t want to buy. They’re sitting out because they think they can’t . And sometimes, it’s their credit score that’s holding them back. According to a Bankrate survey , 2 out of every 5 (42%) Americans believe you need excellent credit to qualify for a mortgage .

You look at your score, see it’s not where you want it to be, and assume buying your first place just isn’t realistic right now. But here’s what you need to know. Even though a lot of people assume you need flawless credit to buy a house, that’s not necessarily the case. You Don’t Need Perfect Credit To Buy a Home.
