    A 60-point credit score difference might not sound huge, but over the life of a mortgage it can potentially add up to tens of thousands of dollars.

    This example compares a 680 credit score with a 740 and shows how the difference in mortgage pricing can translate to roughly $165 more per month and nearly $60,000 over 30 years.

    It also covers some of the score ranges buyers should know about and why improving your credit before applying for a mortgage can matter even if you already qualify.
