Episode notes
Tariff Ruling Lowers Inflationary Pressure
- The Supreme Court struck down Trump's global tariffs as beyond emergency powers, reducing a key inflationary pressure that kept mortgage rates elevated.
- Dave Meyer and Kathy Fecky note most tariff costs were borne by U.S. consumers and construction materials like lumber and aluminum may see price relief over time.
Builder Relief From Tariff Reversal
- Kathy Fecky shared that tariffs acted like a tax on consumers and harmed construction projects she manages, making her teams 'stoked' about the ruling.
- She cited ongoing developments in Park City and multiple projects that will benefit from lower material costs.
Plan For Gradual Mortgage Rate Relief
- Expect mortgage rates to fall only gradually as tariff-driven inflation eases and bond yields adjust, not overnight.
- Use the ruling as a potential tailwind when planning financing but avoid assuming immediate rate drops.
