Why Real Estate Is Back in the Headlines
Mortgage rates are in the high fives, headlines are positive, and momentum is finally returning to real estate.
In this episode of Motivational Monday, Robert Palmer and Matthew Hodge break down why the recent drop in mortgage rates is more than just a headline, how proposed Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac MBS purchases could stabilize rates, and why banning institutional buyers could unlock demand in key price points and zip codes.
Robert explains why keeping mortgage rates psychologically below six percent matters more than driving them dramatically lower, how the bond market and 10-year Treasury shape housing affordability, and why these developments earn a perfect score when it comes to preparing for the Booms Day.
The episode also introduces the Dezzy Awards, a first-of-its-kind recognition program that celebrates top-producing LPT agents at the national, state, city, and zip code levels. Agents will learn how recognition, visibility, and individual definition of success are core to LPT’s long-term strategy.
👉 The headlines are finally working in real estate’s favor in 2026.
KEY POINTS:
Why mortgage rates touching the high fives is a major psychological win
How Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac buying MBS could stabilize rates
