Tariffs will cause inflation to rise. If inflation is high, the Federal Reserve will maintain or increase interest rates, not lower them.

Absent foreign investment, a weakening dollar, high inflation, increased interest rates, and buyer confusion will lead to lower domestic real estate prices due to reduced demand.
