Thanks for your patience. 1  I recently had to refinance, and before I did I checked 2 of my credit scores â 660 and 653. Not the greatest, but not all that bad. 2  funny that 6 years ago 580 was good anyone could sell homes, even people earning 4-7k per month had arm mortgages, and lost homes.
Still, to buy a home aim for a score of at least 620, recognizing that other factors weigh in the decision and that some banks may require a higher score. With an FHA mortgage, however, a FICO score of 600 or higher is enough to qualify for the 3.5% down payment loan.s a rule of thumb, however, a credit score below 620 will make buying a home very difficult with a conventional mortgage. A FICO score below 620 is considered sub-prime. In the past there were mortgage companies that specialized in sub-prime mortgages.
