What Buyers and Sellers Need to Know About the Changing Economic Landscape

Boise isn't immune to national headlines—and the recent announcement of renewed tariffs under former President Trump’s economic strategy could bring some ripple effects to our local market.

If you caught my latest YouTube video, “Trump Tariffs Hit Boise Idaho,” you already know this isn’t just political noise—it could affect everything from home prices to construction timelines in the Treasure Valley.

Here’s a breakdown of what it means for YOU as a buyer, seller, or investor in the Boise area:

---

??? Higher Building Costs Could Be Coming
Tariffs on foreign materials—especially steel, aluminum, and appliances—could drive up the cost of new construction. This means builders may slow down projects or pass those costs onto buyers.

?? Supply Chain Shifts = Price Pressure
If the cost of materials rises, prices on everything from renovations to repairs might follow. That could impact sellers looking to upgrade before listing, or buyers eyeing fixer-uppers.

?? Economic Uncertainty Affects Buyer Confidence
When national economic policy changes, buyer behavior changes too. People may delay buying or selling due to perceived uncertainty—especially first-time buyers or those on the fence.

?? Boise’s Local Market Still Has Strong Fundamentals
The good news? Boise remains a highly desirable destination with strong demand, low inventory, and people still moving in from out of state. Tariffs may slow certain aspects, but Boise’s long-term outlook remains solid.
