This is a term someone entered into a search engine, like Google, who wound up on my blog. “Is 714 a Good Credit Score for Buying a House?” is a fair question. Just a couple years ago, having clients with credit scores 700 or higher was considered “excellent”. In fact, previously credit scores of 680 or higher were considered good. Now with conventional loans, we have several brackets based on credit scores and loan to value. Many lenders are adopting this with FHA loans too.
