Weekly Housing Market Activity Report for the Twin Cities

For Week Ending November 20, 2021
Publish Date: November 29, 2021 • All comparisons are to 2020

to FICO CEO William Lansing in a recent interview with MarketWatch. The average
score across all segments rose eight points to 716, while consumers with scores
below 600 saw a larger average increase, rising from 581 in April 2020 to 601 today.
Pandemic-related relief programs and a decrease in consumer spending early in the
pandemic are likely contributors to the improvement in scores. Higher credit scores
can offer home buyers more loan options as well as lower interest rates, which can
increase affordability and purchasing power.
