Redfin Corporation has released survey findings revealing mixed sentiments among U.S. homeowners and renters regarding the impact of immigration and tariffs on housing affordability. The survey, conducted with 4,000 participants, highlights that 51% believe reduced immigration could lead to fewer construction workers and thus, more expensive homes. Conversely, 39% think it could make homes more affordable by reducing demand. On tariffs, 68% fear they may drive price inflation and high interest rates, but 35% see potential for making homes more affordable. Political affiliations also play a role, with Democrats more inclined to see reduced immigration as a factor in rising home costs, while Republicans are more likely to view tariffs as beneficial for the economy and home affordability. The findings underscore the divided opinions on how these regulations will shape the housing market.
