For the week ending 8.11.22 Mortgage rates INCREASE 21bp to 5.40%.
For a $100,000 loan the monthly payment INCREASED $13 to $561/mo or $0.42/day.

While mortgage rates INCREASED 21bp, 10 Year Treasury rates INCREASED 19bp. The net difference is a 2bp increase in a spread of 253bp. With the historical spread being 168 there now exists a “safety cushion” of 85bp above this historical spread.

The historic spread between the 10 Year Treasury and mortgage rates is 168pb (see the green line, right axis) and currently, there is an 85bp above the historical norm. Last week’s 31bp decrease in mortgage rates without an off-setting decrease in Treasury Rates seemed odd and did NOT last long.
