In this episode of the WHY NOT? RE Podcast – Golden Nuggets, host Brian Lucier breaks down how rising tariffs abroad could ripple through real estate markets right here at home. 📊🏠 From inflation to interest rates, from rental demand to property values — we’ll uncover what’s brewing behind the scenes and how savvy investors can stay one step ahead.
🏘️ What’s Happening in Single-Family Homes?
As building costs surge 📈, home sizes are shrinking and inventory is tightening. New construction is cooling, with today’s market flush with homes from permits pulled years ago — but by 2026, watch out. Inventory will dry up. The best opportunities right now? Distressed properties, landlord sell-offs, and taking over developer debt. 💸
🇺🇸 Will Trump’s Policy Push Change the Game?
The DOT Plot is in focus, and Trump’s plans for cheaper financing and opening up over 512,000 acres for housing could reshape inventory levels. 📉 But it all hinges on rates dropping back to that sweet spot near 6%. Until then, investors need to stay nimble and capitalized.
💰 Tariffs = Inflation, Rising Prices, and… Opportunities?
Tariffs are expected to fuel inflation 🔥, jack up building costs (up to $9,200 more per home 🏡), and pressure the dollar. Higher inflation usually means higher rates — but also increased property values. Real estate remains one of the best hedges against inflation when markets get wild.
🏢 The Multi-Family & Rental Market Forecast
Expect more renters, tougher affordability, and increased difficulty screening quality tenants. Property management will be critical 🎯 — keeping units full and tenants happy could mean the difference between profit and pain. Lowering rents might be necessary in some areas, so prepping existing portfolios now is smart money strategy.

✅ Prices will rise
