Is Trump’s Housing Plan the Secret Key to Slashing Home Values and Unlocking Hidden Investment Goldmines?
President Donald J. Trump’s executive order aims to make housing more affordable by reducing regulatory burdens, expanding supply, and encouraging private-sector involvement. For investors using self-directed IRAs—with features such as checkbook control and the ability to invest in a broad array of asset classes—this policy shift could present new opportunities to diversify into real estate.
Understanding the Impact of Regulations on Housing Prices
Government regulations have long influenced the cost of developing residential and multifamily properties. The National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) estimates that, as of 2021, regulations account for nearly 23.8% of the final price of a new single-family home—adding an average of $93,870 to the cost. In the multifamily sector, the burden is even greater, with the National Multifamily Housing Council (NMHC) reporting that regulatory costs contribute 40.6% to total development expenses as of 2022.
