Paid off car and closing on a mortgage in a few weeks

As the title states I just paid off my car and I'm closing on a mortgage in a few weeks. I just got a notification that my score dropped for doing this. I understand the reason for it but my question is will this hurt my closing if my score drops below the 680 mark that I must not go below? My score was 700 right before the sale of the car. I'm afraid they will pull a new score reflecting this change right before closing.

What were your explicit mortgage scores previously?  You won't take a hit on either EQ or TU, you might take one on EX, maybe.

 

A second pull isn't terribly likely unless you have an extended period of time between applying and closing, like >3 months.
