Paying for a home in the Dallas-Fort Worth area is simpler than you might think when you have the right guidance. Most buyers start with financing, which means getting pre-approved for a mortgage. To qualify, you’ll typically need a credit score of at least 620 for conventional loans, though FHA loans may allow scores as low as 580. Lenders also consider your debt-to-income (DTI) ratio, aiming for 43% or less. If you’re purchasing a home with the median price of $425,000 in Dallas or $360,000 in Fort Worth, an annual household income of $100,000–$120,000 may be sufficient, depending on your loan program. The Emerald Team partners with trusted lenders who will walk you through your options and ensure you feel confident about your budget and financial plan.
