Mortgage rates can feel like they’re changing for no reason—but there’s more behind the number than you might think. 🏡

Two key factors help shape mortgage rates: the 10-year Treasury yield and the mortgage spread.

The good news? That spread has narrowed significantly from where it was in 2023, helping keep today’s rates in the upper 6% range instead of pushing closer to 8%.

Rates may not be where buyers want them yet, but understanding what’s driving them can make the decision feel a whole lot clearer.
