Tariffs, tariffs, tariffs -- more and more throughout the 2024 presidential campaign, and especially since President Trump has retaken the White House, tariffs seem the be the primary economic news subject of the day.

The article from MSN discusses how President Trump's tariffs, particularly those on steel and aluminum, could influence home prices in several ways. Firstly, the increased cost of materials like steel and aluminum directly raises the cost of construction, potentially leading to higher home prices. Secondly, these tariffs might lead to retaliatory tariffs from other countries, which could increase the cost of imported building materials and appliances, further driving up home construction costs. Thirdly, the economic uncertainty caused by trade wars could affect consumer confidence, possibly reducing demand for new homes and affecting home prices indirectly. Lastly, if the tariffs lead to job losses in industries affected by retaliatory measures, this could decrease disposable income, impacting the housing market by reducing the number of potential buyers. Overall, these factors suggest that Trump's tariffs could contribute to higher home prices or a slowdown in the housing market due to increased costs and economic uncertainty.
