Trump Imposes 10% Tariff on Lumber and 25% on Furniture: What It Means for Home Builders and Investors

President Trump has announced sweeping new tariffs on lumber, cabinets, and furniture — starting at 10% and rising as high as 50% by January. In this episode, Kathy Fettke breaks down what these tariffs mean for the housing market and for real estate investors. With lumber and wood products already under strain from supply chain disruptions, higher import costs could make new construction, remodeling, and even replacement materials more expensive. Kathy explains how these new trade policies might ripple through the real estate industry — from home builders facing tighter margins to investors navigating higher property and renovation costs. Plus, we look at which countries are hit hardest, how Canada and Vietnam are responding, and what this could mean for long-term housing affordability in the U.S. JOIN RealWealth® FOR FREE https://realwealth.com/join-step-1  FOLLOW OUR PODCASTS Real Wealth Show: Real Estate Investing Podcast https://link.chtbl.com/RWS
