The housing market is shifting again… and this could be the turning point. In today’s episode of Motivational Monday with LPT Realty, hosts Robert Palmer (Founder & CEO) and Matthew Hodge (EVP) break down the latest economic data, the Fed’s next moves, and what it all means for mortgage rates, buyers, sellers, and real estate agents. You’ll learn why weak job numbers and new inflation data could spark a major drop in rates, how locked-in homeowners are waiting for the right moment to move, and why the next boom could be the biggest momentum shift in real estate history.  Robert also shares candid insights on building LPT’s culture, why alignment matters more than hype, and how agents can prepare during the bust to dominate when the boom hits. 👉 Ready to prepare for the biggest real estate boom of your career?  Join us at Fall Con 2025: aiufallcon.com!  KEY POINTS:  - Why bad jobs numbers can actually be good for real estate. - How bond investors and inflation fears really drive mortgage rates. - Why homeowners are living in trailers and rotating apartments (just to keep 2% rates). - The “booms day prepper” mindset every agent needs now. - How to prepare your systems and marketing before demand explodes. - Why culture and collaboration give LPT agents a winning edge. - How plugging into events like Fall Con 2025 sets you apart. QUOTES:  “The best time to prepare for the boom is during the bust.” “If you're not going to plug in and you're not going to take advantage of things like AIU and list, the free listing power packs on every listing, and the active marketing plans and non-critical questions and all these things we've built to help you be more successful. If you're not going to take advantage of that, you could be at any brokerage.” “This culture is not put together with lipstick on a pig, like this culture is real. It runs deep. It is in our veins. It is in our blood.” “Here, every brokerage will fail you if you don't plug in; only LPT will be there to help you win when you do plug in.” RESOURCES:  Learn from the Best Brokerage Now! @lpt realty
