E31: How Trump’s Policies Could Reshape the Housing Market


Listen Later

In this episode, we break down a recent CNBC article that explores how a Trump presidency could influence the U.S. housing market. We dive into Trump’s key promises, like increasing housing supply through deregulation and opening federal lands for construction, and the potential impacts of immigration policies and tariffs on construction costs. But it’s not all straightforward—there are some major challenges and contradictions to consider. Plus, we discuss the potential effects on interest rates and the possibility of new financing options to make housing more affordable. Join us as we analyze these complex issues and what they mean for real estate investors, developers, and prospective homeowners.

 

Key Takeaways

 

1. Deregulation Could Accelerate Construction: Trump’s plan to cut red tape might make it easier and faster to build new homes, reducing the overall cost of construction.

2. Immigration Policies May Backfire: Stricter immigration laws could shrink the construction workforce, potentially driving up labor costs and housing prices.

3. Tariffs Could Raise Material Costs: Proposed tariffs on imported building materials might increase construction expenses, which could negate efforts to make housing more affordable.
