Part 9/9:
The future of lumber prices under President-elect Trump remains uncertain, as an array of factors—from tariffs and forest management to regulation policies and immigration—interact in complex ways. While it is clear that increased tariffs will raise lumber prices for consumers, the overall impact of Trump's policies will depend significantly on the balance of supply and demand in the housing market.
Engaging in an informed discussion about these pressing issues is essential, as stakeholders in the lumber industry seek to navigate the changing landscape ahead. It remains to be seen how effective the Trump administration will be in addressing these challenges and what lasting impacts these decisions will have on the lumber industry and housing market as a whole.
