What it means for your shop
Lenders face a narrow window: purchase volume stays tepid at current rates, and refi activity remains dormant with the 30-year premium over 10-years sitting at ~200 basis points. Servicers should brace for continued MSR pressure as prepayment risk stays muted in a range-bound, higher-for-longer rate environment.
