p a i d a d v e r t i s e m e n t Tariffs Are Back— And Homebuilding Might Feel It New tariffs are on the table so if you’re building, renovating, or just shopping for your next project... now’s the time to pay attention. The Trump administration has proposed a fresh wave of tariffs aimed at imported goods, especially from China. But the ripple effect could extend beyond just one country. Items from Vietnam, Mexico, and even parts of Europe could also see price pressure due to changes in trade dynamics and retaliatory measures. I recently felt the impacts of the tariffs first hand after being charged an additional 10% on lighting fixtures and had to change our window package to keep our budget in line. It seems like every day brings a new supply disruption or price change that we are juggling to make work within our design. So what does that mean for your home? China is a major source for lighting fixtures, plumbing parts, cabinets, tile, flooring, and essential electrical components. Vietnam and Malaysia produce a large share of engineered wood flooring and lower cost cabinetry. Mexico manufactures a surprising amount of HVAC components, doors, and hardware. Even some higher-end European imports like appliances, stone, or specialty fixtures may see delays or price hikes depending on how trade relations unfold. Add it all up, and it’s clear: tariffs aren’t just a headline. They could directly affect your bottom line. At The Brokery, we’re always tracking how global trends show up in our local markets. If you’re planning a build or renovation, now might be the right time to review your plans, confirm vendor timelines, and possibly lock in pricing before more volatility kicks in. We’ll keep our ear to the ground and help you navigate these shifts because smart timing and solid information still make all the difference. In the meantime, don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions or concerns about your next project.
