What it means for your shop
Origination volume faces continued headwinds at 6.66%—well above the pre-2022 refi threshold—while the 199 bps mortgage-to-10Y spread leaves limited room for rate cuts to spark a wave without significant Fed easing or a structural demand shift. MSR holders face accelerating prepay risk if longer yields fall sharply.
