What Credit Score Do You Need to Buy a House in Texas?

One of the most common questions homebuyers ask is: what credit score do you need to buy a house in Texas?

The answer depends on the type of loan you are using.

Here’s a general guideline:

- Conventional loans: usually require a credit score of 620 or higher

- FHA loans: may accept scores as low as 580

- VA loans: requirements vary, but often more flexible

Your credit score affects not only your approval but also your interest rate and monthly payment.

Even if your credit score is not perfect, there may still be options available.
