The U.S. homebuilding industry is facing significant headwinds in 2025, as rising mortgage rates, high construction costs, and new tariff concerns put pressure on builders. After a surge in construction at the end of 2024, housing starts fell nearly 10% in January, signaling growing uncertainty in the market. Meanwhile, builder confidence has dropped to its lowest level since before President Trump’s first term, with concerns over affordability, unsold inventory, and policy uncertainty weighing heavily. In this episode, we break down the latest housing data, explore why homebuilders are pulling back, and discuss what it all means for the future of U.S. home construction.
