Initially, you'll need to know what your current credit score is. You should compare that against the average Massachusetts consumer
credit score which is 686. And the national average credit score
is 677. Your credit score impacts what your home mortgage rate will
be. Historically home mortgage rates have varied from
5% to over 13%. Lenders create their home mortgage rates by using
the Federal Discount Interest Rate and then increase it by using
an internal formula to create their own home mortgage rate. When
you apply for a home mortgage, your home mortgage rate will be determined
by a whole host of factors, your credit score being one of the most
important.
