Trump’s Executive Order Tackles Housing Costs

President Trump has signed an executive order aimed at reducing the high cost of housing. The plan includes cutting energy costs, reducing regulatory expenses (which currently make up 25% of new home construction costs), and expanding the housing supply. Trump also linked housing affordability to healthcare costs, highlighting the broader impact of homeownership.

The order mandates that all federal agencies take action to lower housing expenses, expand supply, and report progress within 30 days. If successful, these measures could mark a significant shift in the housing market. Let’s see what the next month brings.
