Is Trump’s Housing Plan the Secret Key to Slashing Home Values and Unlocking Hidden Investment Goldmines?
Let’s apply a similar logic to the housing market by comparing total U.S. housing market value to GDP over time:
| Year | U.S. GDP (Trillions of USD) | Housing Market Value (Trillions of USD) | Housing as % of GDP |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2000 | $10 | $10 | 100% |
| 2006 | $14 | $23 | 164% |
| 2012 | $16 | $18 | 112% |
| 2025* | $30 | $50 | 166% |
*2025 figures are projected.
When housing values exceed GDP by a significant margin—as seen in 2006, and potentially in 2025—it may signal overvaluation. For self-directed IRA investors, these indicators could be useful in identifying areas of risk and opportunity within the real estate market.
