DDB Capital Challenges Conventional Wisdom on Tariffs and Housing in New Report

Contrarian analysis reveals why rising construction costs won't derail housing momentum in 2025

MOORESVILLE, N.C., March 25, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- While headlines warn of a housing slowdown due to rising tariffs, DDB Capital sees something different. In a newly released report, The Truth About 2025 Tariffs: Why Investors Remain Bullish on Housing, DDB Capital breaks with mainstream thinking, arguing that falling mortgage rates—not material costs—are the real force shaping housing affordability in 2025.

Rather than panic over cost spikes in lumber, drywall, and steel, the report finds that the actual increase in home prices is manageable—and even offset by strategic builder incentives and Fed-driven rate shifts. With Treasury yields falling and mortgage demand rising, DDB Capital views the current landscape as an opportunity, not a threat.

"This isn't the story you're hearing on CNBC," said Johnathan Chavez, Senior Analyst at DDB Capital. "But the data makes it clear—tariffs are noise, interest rates drive the signal."

DDB Capital invites investors, builders, and analysts to read the full report and explore the data behind the contrarian call.
