President Trump’s 25% tariffs on Canada sparked fears of a trade war, higher construction costs, and a housing market slowdown. But after a 30-day pause, what’s next?

Construction Chaos: Tariffs could add $1,000s to building costs, delaying projects and squeezing housing supply. Buy or Sell? If tariffs resume, prices may dip but rates could drop. If paused, stability returns.
