Will Tariffs Increase Housing Costs?

On today’s show we are looking at the potential for a global trade war and what it could mean for real estate investors in the US and Canada. 

President Trump has not yet taken office and he is rattling markets all over the world with the threat of tariffs. 

In order to understand the threat, we need to look deeper beneath the surface. We can look at the use of tariffs during the first Trump administration and look at the latest statements from the president to better understand where this is all headed.

In the days following the US federal election, president elect Trump put out a tweet on the X platform saying that he would impose a tariff of 25% on all goods imported from Mexico and Canada.
