Do credit cards affect my borrowing power?

By Victoria Stefano

Yes, credit cards can have an impact on your borrowing power. Lenders consider your credit card balances and limits when assessing your ability to repay a home loan. Higher credit card balances and limits can reduce the amount you’re eligible to borrow, as they are seen as potential financial obligations.
