Spreads shrinking, but why? (vacation condos united states)

Spreads shrinking, but why?
The spread between 10-year Treasury yields and mortgage rates has been shrinking. I have no idea why but I do have a guess.

Home sales cratered
Home resales plummeted 13 percent in March, compared to the previous March, according to the National Association of Realtors (NAR).

Kiss the dice & throw ‘em
If you’re conservative by nature, you’ll probably want to lock a rate before the first estimate of first-quarter gross domestic product comes out on Friday.

This is reasonable and expected since banks and lenders assume a somewhat higher level of risk with a bad credit loan.

Where’s the beef?
Ethanol production is making other crops more expensive, as well as boosting the price of cattle feed and therefore beef.
