Now that the tariffs are live, let’s dive in the real estate components that will be effected.

New tariffs on essential construction materials are expected to drive up costs for both residential and commercial projects. Materials such as aluminum conduit, structural steel, lumber, and steel decking have already been experiencing inflationary pressures, with price increases of up to 12.5% for aluminum and 11.2% for steel decking over the past year. These additional tariffs are expected to further compound these rising costs, making construction more expensive across the board.

The impact on material costs is projected to be significant, with tariffs adding another 8–30% in expenses. As a result, steel decking could see cumulative price increases of up to 29.2%, while lumber costs may rise by 23.8%, according to industry reports from Construction Dive and NAHB. For residential construction, this could translate to an added $17,000–$22,000 in the cost of building a new home. With affordability already strained due to high mortgage rates and low housing supply, these increases will further challenge prospective buyers and homebuilders alike.

On the commercial side, the tariffs are expected to raise material costs for industrial and office projects by 14–18%, tightening developer margins and potentially stalling new projects. The higher costs could slow overall construction activity, leading to fewer new developments and delays in large-scale projects. As a result, the real estate market may experience reduced housing inventory growth and a slowdown in commercial construction, impacting economic activity and investment in the sector. Show more

The latest maturity data from MBA recently shows $4.8 trillion in outstanding commercial real estate mortgages, nearly $1 trillion is set to mature in 2025, with majority including MF and office loans.

Last year’s report indicated that $575 billion in loans were set to mature in 2025, whereas this year’s report shows $960 billion—an increase of $385 billion. This suggests that a significant portion of the commercial real estate (CRE) mortgages originally due in 2024 have been extended into 2025. In fact, of the $930 billion in CRE mortgages set to mature in 2024, 41% were pushed forward, mirroring the trend seen in 2023 when a similar proportion of loans were extended into the following year.

The question now is how much longer these extensions will continue. While prices are beginning to stabilize or, in some cases, recover, many property owners will face significant equity losses as these loans come due. However, as more of these extended deals eventually hit the market, prices will likely be more stable, allowing distressed market buyers to better assess their downside risk and participate more actively. This shift should drive higher transaction volumes throughout the year. Blood in the water? Show more
