Everything’s Bigger in Texas… Including OTM Prepays

In this week’s Convexity Pulse, Kirill Krylov discusses how the mortgage market is transitioning from a volatility-driven environment toward one increasingly supported by carry, stable demand, and improving higher-coupon prepayment behavior. He examines the sharp rebound in gross agency MBS issuance while highlighting why net supply dynamics remain much tighter beneath the surface, particularly within the GSE market. The episode also explores how seasoned Texas collateral is emerging as one of the more interesting turnover stories in the mortgage market, as rising property taxes, insurance costs, and generational housing transitions weaken the traditional lock-in effect. The discussion highlights why mobility-driven prepays may remain surprisingly resilient even in a higher-rate environment.
