A BOOST IN DEREGULATION

First up, expect a major push for deregulation. Trump previously stated his intention to tackle “unnecessary” housing development regulations, which can drive up new home prices by over $90,000.

For you, that means more inventory in traditionally tight markets—but there’s a flip side. Fewer regulations could make it tough to maintain neighborhood standards, raising questions about environmental impacts. For now, though, it’s more houses on the market, more options for your clients, and more deals to close.

MORTGAGE RATES ON THE DECLINE?

Trump’s economic focus on slashing inflation could lower mortgage rates, bringing sidelined buyers back to the table. Lower rates = higher buyer activity, meaning you’ll have plenty of opportunities to turn interest into action.

IMMIGRATION POLICY AND LABOR SHORTAGES

Immigration cuts might ease rental demand but could lead to labor shortages. About a third of construction labor comes from foreign-born workers, so fewer immigrants could slow new builds and squeeze the already tight inventory.

That’s a heads-up for agents in areas heavily reliant on new construction. Brace for fewer listings and competition among buyers.

TARIFFS AND INFLATION RISKS

Trump’s tariff strategy might drive inflation and hike up material costs, pushing home prices even higher in the long run.

As costs rise, affordability becomes a growing challenge, especially for middle-income buyers. The takeaway? Be ready to get creative with financing solutions and guide clients through rising costs in the mid- to lower-income segments.
