Derrick Thornton, REALTOR® Season 1 Episode 40

In this episode, we examine the Trump administration’s latest immigration policies and how they may affect the real estate industry. With undocumented immigrants making up a significant portion of the construction labor force, we explore the potential impact on housing supply, affordability, and the costs of home repairs and renovations. We also discuss why these policies could intensify the labor shortage and what that means for both homebuyers and sellers. Finally, we offer insights into how the market might respond and why a strategic plan is necessary to alleviate the inevitable consequences of these actions. Tune in to learn what could be at stake for the future of housing.
