Last week’s tariff announcement from the Trump administration put the stock market in a freefall. Major indexes are now past correction territory and on their way to crash status. But one silver lining for real estate investors? Mortgage rates. Economic fear is pushing more investors to buy bonds, lowering yields and mortgage rates. How long will suppressed mortgage rates last, and could rates fall even more?

The Trump administration’s latest round of tariffs may be the most significant change in economic policy in 50 years. This affects not just Americans but the entire world, as President Trump purposefully pursues a “deglobalization” strategy. This could force us to form new allies, break ties with old ones, and see a shift to much less reliance on foreign trade partners.

What does that mean for real estate investors? Well, you could see certain costs go up—significantly. We’ll discuss exactly which costs will rise, and by how much, and what investors should do to protect themselves—not panic—in this highly volatile time.
