Global Trade Tensions and the Housing Market

[Cody Smith]

Hello BP community! I am trying to gain more knowledge and experience with understanding and predicting the real estate market. More specifically, how National and global issues affect the housing market positively and negatively. I’m sure everyone here knows about the trade tensions with China and other countries. How do you think that these trade changes will affect the housing market? Is it a safe assumption to think that the new tariffs on goods will cause the general cost of living to rise, ultimately resulting in a snowball effect that will lead to a bear market? I’m positive there are people here who know much more about the entire situation than I do, I just want to get a discussion started to see what you guys are thinking. Thanks! -Cody Smith
