Will a HELOC Affect Your Credit Score? | Sunshine State Mortgage

With property values skyrocketing in recent years, homeowner equity is at an all-time high. It could be a good moment to use part of that equity to pay off bills or finally make those home upgrades you've been wanting to make. A home equity line of credit (HELOC) is one of the most frequent ways to borrow against the value of your home, but if you're planning on getting any additional loans soon, you should be aware of how a HELOC may affect your credit score.


When you close the HELOC account, your credit score will suffer because your credit use rate is a component of your credit profile. This is the number of your available credit lines that you have currently borrowed. When you pay off your HELOC loan, your total available credit limit will drop significantly, and your credit usage will rise automatically. Those with limited credit histories bear the brunt of the consequences. The longer you have the loan, the less impact it will have on your credit score when it is paid off. 


A HELOC home loan can be a very beneficial way to complete your projects or meet your financial goals, as long as you are aware of the impact it will have on your credit over the next few years.
