I've been aggressively paying off debt in hopes of buying a condo/house next year. My credit score has always been decent, usually around 710-720. It took a small dip last time I checked my score in March (but not sure why), to 694. I paid off two large balances and my TU is 738 and EQ is 750! This is up from TU 703 and EQ 714 in January.
I'm so happy! I can't wait to see what my score will be once I'm done paying off 2 more cards and my personal loan! I will be ready to apply for that mortgage in no time and be confident that I will get approved!! 
Starting Score: 703
