Recovery of mortgage scores after opening a new account

As there is a general lack of good data points around mortgage scores I thought I would post the trend of my mortgage scores over the last year. 

Profile details:

AoYRA: hit 2 years on 4/1; a HELOC that is now closed. 

10 credit cards, normally reports a balance on 2-5 cards 

2 loan closed in the last 12 months, a personal loan and a mortgage. 

Open loans:

1 mortgage opened in June of last year 

1 auto loan 

2 personal loans, one opened in November of last year 

Youngest account is 5 months old (personal loan mentioned above)

The big dip in July is when my newest mortgage reported. The increase in January is when a different mortgage and the HELOC was reported paid and closed. 

 

And just for completeness my FICO 8 over the same time frame

Feel free to ask questions if I left out any relevant information

@dragontears What was the F8 dip?

The dip for 8 is when I let a chase card report a balance of ~3,800 on a 4,500 CL. I was curious what the affect would be.

@dragontears One more thing can you quantify the dip and the rise? TIA!

EQ5: 805 => 789; 787 => 794

EX2: 801 => 786; 790 => 794

TU4: 768 => 771; 770 => 779

 

I find the difference between EX2 recovery pattern and EQ5/TU4 to be fascinating and something to keep in mind as a lot of the testing is done with EX2 since it is easy to monitor without costing a fortune.
