Why New Home Construction Just Hit a Wall—and What It Means for You

In this episode of The Triniyah Podcast, we explore the
significant 14.2% drop in U.S. single-family housing starts and
what this decline signals for the broader real estate market. We
explain the economic forces behind the slowdown, including the
role of rising import tariffs that have added nearly $11,000 to
the cost of building a new home. You'll learn how these added
costs are shaping builder decisions, tightening housing supply,
and creating new challenges—and opportunities—for homebuyers,
sellers, and real estate investors. We also discuss how current
trends compare to past market shifts, what to watch for in the
coming months, and how to navigate today’s real estate climate
with clarity and strategy. Whether you’re planning a move, eyeing
your next investment, or just trying to make sense of the
headlines, this episode delivers the insight you need to move
forward with confidence.
