Analysts are warning that a return to Donald Trump’s aggressive trade policies could send ripples through the global property market, affecting prices, investor confidence, and cross-border capital flows. With Trump leading in several polls ahead of the U.S. presidential election, real estate experts say his proposed tariffs and America-first approach could trigger trade wars that disrupt global supply chains and inflation trends.
“Tariffs on imports could lead to higher construction costs, reduced investment appetite, and slower project delivery timelines,” said a property analyst quoted in the report.
Emerging markets are expected to be most vulnerable, as capital may retreat to safer assets in developed economies. Additionally, increased geopolitical tensions could heighten investor caution, especially in volatile regions.
