Will this credit score ding hurt me on a mortgage ?

I'm really naive to credit scoring and am very frustrated to learn that my score went down significantly this year because I started running a balance on my card between quarterly bonuses. Never missed a payment, just used it a lot. Now I know that the algos don't want you using more than 30% of your available credit. Now that I know that, I'm going to remove the card from my wallet and reserve it just for car rentals and anything else that requires a card.

Assuming my score gets back up to 820 or higher, will this ding impede my rate or mortgage limit in light of my broader financial picture ? My timeframe to make a purchase is looking like maybe Q2/3 next year. I know this is crazy, but I'm looking at both residential and commercial; assuming commercial has different requirements than residential. My broader financial picture is that I have 125 in debt between my mortgage and card, and nothing else, couple commas in stocks/funds (sheltered and unsheltered), earned income over 200/yr for probably a decade.

Additional note: looks like this is chase's "vantage score 3.0" scoring. Now idea how that translates to FICO, or what the mortgage industry use.

North Carolina – “One to Buy; Two to Sell”

I realize I will likely have to contact a real estate attorney but also hoping to hear insights and experiences from others! I have a house in NC that I bought by myself in 2009, and paid off, in full, in 2022. I got married in 2023. My spouse and I have not lived in the house as our "marital residence". We have maintained separate residences even after we got married. (That a separate topic!). I am now selling this house. Realtors have told us that my husband has to sign the deed at time of transfer but I am not convinced since the house has not been our marital residence. The realtors like to use the phrase "one to buy; two to sell", which seems like a broad-stroke statement which is not applicable under all circumstances. And of course, the realtors don’t realize the details of my specific circumstances: I purchased and paid for the house in full prior to marriage Only my name is on the deed And most importantly, we have never lived in the house as a marit...
