If that's because the tariffs will increase the cost of construction materials, the solution is to buy an existing home, not new construction.

So my house now costs $384k instead of $378k? I’ll take it.

When I purchased my first home interest rates were 10+%. Things happen. It is not the end of the world.
Patience pays.
"I want what I want when I want it" leads to a miserable life. Deal with it.

I love liberal’s faux concern on the effects of government regulation on consumer costs.

The government would prefer you to buy an old home and not a new one. Economic libertarianism at its finest

Factory workers lose jobs as steel tariffs put business in "crisis mode"

None of these are CNN links, and of course, not FOX either.

From your article.

You do realize why that is misleading, correct? If 100 people lose a job in a business that requires steel, but 100 people gain employment in the steel industry, that is a net zero impact (when talking about jobs)
You are a misleader at best and a liar at worst by omitting that data.

So that extra (roughly) $18 a month on the house note is disqualifying a ton of homeowners? Seriously?
Climbing land costs, environmental impact fees, climbing permit fees, increased wages, and climbing interest rates all have much bigger impacts.

I know libs in their moral superiority are upset we aren’t outsourcing more to Asian slave pits, but it will be better for us in the long term.

This is so stupid

The market will adjust.
Also, if it's because of metals, I'm not sure what metal needed in home building isn't manufactured domestically?

It's a trade war we will win. It will be tough at first but the outcome will be far worth it

Don't shoot the messenger. CBSNEWS, Business insider and AJC. I guess it's only acceptable if I post what you trumpkins want to hear.

Shouldn't this say new home? Existing homes are not impacted.

Sure. Being able to build what you want at a cheaper price........why bother?

People need to stop using that cheap Chinese drywall anyway.
