Will New Tariffs Kill the Housing Market? | 2026 Real Estate Crisis Explained

Описание: Are tariffs the final nail in the coffin for affordable housing? In this episode of the Bitter Realtor Podcast, we dive deep into how new trade policies and tariffs on essential materials—like lumber, steel, and aluminum—are causing a massive spike in construction costs.

We discuss why developers are pulling back on new projects, how these costs are trickling down to homebuyers in Los Angeles and the San Fernando Valley, and what this means for the future of inventory in 2026. If you're planning to buy, sell, or build, this is a must-watch update.

In this video, we cover:

The direct link between new tariffs and rising home prices.

Why "affordable housing" is becoming a myth for builders.

A breakdown of the 90-day pause on certain trade policies.

Local market insights for Sherman Oaks and the greater LA area.
