Tariffs and trade wars could affect mortgage rates much more than most Americans think. You’ve heard on the news that tariffs on Canada mean higher gas prices, tariffs on Mexico mean a bigger grocery bill, and tariffs on China lead to electronics and appliances becoming even more expensive. However, as a real estate investor or homeowner waiting to refinance, the key number to watch for the impact of tariffs is interest rates.Today, we’re breaking down how the tariffs will affect you, which prices will rise, which real estate investments will become even more costly, and how interest rates have been held hostage by tariff threats. If tariffs are contributing to the current high mortgage rates, could tariff concessions lead to lower rates? If President Trump can work out deals with trade partners, would this mean a cheaper mortgage payment?We’re breaking down tariffs, trade wars, rising prices, and how they’ll affect your real estate investments.In This Episode We CoverNew tariff update: which countries have reached a deal and which are currently tariffedWhy mortgage rates are surprisingly affected by tariffs and trade warsWho pays the tariffs once they’re in place (most Americans have this WRONG)A post-tariff inflation prediction and whether we’ll bump back to pandemic inflation levelsTrump’s two primary goals for imposing tariffs on Canada, Mexico, and ChinaAnd So Much More!Links from the ShowJoin the Future of Real Estate Investing with FundriseJoin BiggerPockets for FREEFind Investor-Friendly LendersDave's BiggerPockets ProfileOn The Market 290 - Redfin: Tariff Fears Drive Up Mortgage Rates, Throwing 2025 Off-TrackKnow the Numbers BEFORE You Invest with “Real Estate by the Numbers”Jump to topic:(00:00) Intro(03:21) Tariffs Imposed, Now Paused(05:26) Trump’s Tariff Goal(07:48) Who Pays the Tariff?

With evidence of a global recession piling up, Americans have just one question—will we be affected? So far, everything is going well for the US. Job growth continues, unemployment is low, and asset prices are high, but with the global economy becoming increasingly interlinked, could a crash in Europe or Asia pull us down with them? Mark Zandi, Chief Economist of Moody's Analytics, has a contrarian viewpoint that defies the masses.But Mark has bigger worries than a global recession taking down the US economy. We could be our own worst enemy as “tinder” for an interest rate fire begins to pile up, and the bond market may be more than ready to light it. Even with President Trump’s push for lower interest rates and the Fed pausing rate cuts, could we see mortgage rates fly up higher, defying the system meant to keep them in check?Plus, what does DeepSeek’s entry into the AI race mean for the US economy?

Could Trump’s proposed tariffs be the reason for the recent rise in mortgage rates? Could this slow the housing market and cause affordability to get worse? What happens if rates stay higher for longer and more homebuyers get kicked out of the market? We’re talking to Redfin’s Chen Zhao about how tariffs will affect you and the surprising findings from a new homeowner survey foreshadowing something none of us wanted to see about housing inventory.Tariffs could change many things: they could increase construction costs for houses, lead to higher inflation and higher mortgage rates, or put jobs back into American communities. Does the market believe the Trump administration will go forward with their flat tariff for most countries? Or will they pick and choose specific exporters within specific countries to tack a tariff onto?Plus, why are sixty percent of homeowners planning NOT to sell their homes in the near future or…ever? If higher mortgage rates remain, will all those homeowners with low mortgage rates stay put without downsizing or moving, locking up housing inventory tighter than it currently is? It’s possible, potentially leading to long-term declines in real estate prices. But don’t worry, Chen breaks down the entire timeline.In This Episode We CoverTrump’s tariffs and the effect they’re having on mortgage rates Redfin’s shocking new homeowner survey that points to more locked-up inventoryIs a real estate price correction coming?
