Q&A: What credit score is needed to get home loan?

Question by gaikhur: What credit score is needed to get home loan?
I have 680 credit score and I also would pay at least 20% down payment for $ 150,000 worth of loan if it is approved. I have also one year history of car loan which was paid in time. Please suggest me,would l be eligible to get home loan with low interest rate? Or I have to pay more down payment? Or wait 4-5 months and more so my credit score will be atleast 720 and more ?

20% down payment is good, but 680 credit score could be a problem – you’d have better chances if you can get it up to 720.
