It doubled in 2022 and 2023 to levels usually seen during financial turmoil because mortgage rates increased, markets became more uncertain, and lenders were trying to hedge their risks by charging more interest.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now, the spread is slowly falling but it has more room to fall before returning to more typical levels, around 1.5-2 percentage points. That means there\u2019s more potential for mortgage rates to fall more than treasury yields.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThink of the spread like a restaurant meal,\u201d said <a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/news\/author\/chen-zhao\/\">Chen Zhao<\/a>, Redfin\u2019s head of economics research. \u201cThe treasury yield is the cost of raw ingredients, the mortgage rate is the price of the meal on the table, and the spread is the restaurant\u2019s markup, which covers the cost of the chef, rent on the restaurant, profit margin, etc. Regardless of the cost of raw ingredients, if the restaurant has a lower markup, that lowers the customer\u2019s bill. Similarly, regardless of the Fed\u2019s actions, a lower mortgage spread helps lower mortgage rates.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Why the Mortgage Spread Dropping Matters For Homebuyers and Homeowners<\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A lower mortgage spread equals lower mortgage rates. If the spread continues to decline, mortgage rates could fall more than they already have.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIt\u2019s important to note that if the Fed cuts interest rates as expected in September\u2013or more than expected\u2013mortgage rates may fall more than anticipated because the spread is also falling,\u201d Zhao said.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s also worth noting that we\u2019re in a buyer\u2019s market, with many sellers open to negotiations, including lowering their price, because many homes have been sitting on the market for a long time. Combined with lower rates, now may be a good time to lock in a lower monthly housing payment.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A homebuyer on a $3,000 monthly budget <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/news\/mortgage-rates-what-homebuyers-and-sellers-should-do-about-it\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">can afford<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> a $439,000 home with a 6.55% mortgage rate, roughly today\u2019s average.
