The interest rate on home mortgages is running much higher than usual relative to the interest rate on long-term treasury bonds. The spread will probably narrow, helping home buyers, but not in 2023.
The option for homeowners to refinance their mortgages makes mortgage-backed securities an inferior investment option. So investors will buy them only if they offer a premium over treasury bond interest rates. That is the wholesale mortgage spread.
At the retail level, some spread widening would be expected due to the mortgage originator’s interest rate risk. The borrower gets an interest rate quote, but then walks away if rates fall, leaving the first originator in the lurch. But if interest rates rise, that borrower holds the originator to the quote. In a more volatile interest rate environment, both spreads increase.
