In those first two sentences you just described most government employees
currently Trump is easily ahead in electoral vote but as far as the popular vote, she is ahead. The democrats are so pathetic that they traded in a dementia patient for this DEI government hire employee nit wit

Kenny Pickett is who I though he was .. Eagles problem now
Kamala wants to give a tax credit to first time buyers
Trump wants to lower interest rates and expand building homes on new lands
Neither will solve the housing crises
The difference between the two candidates is Trump doesn't single out certain groups, leaving others out in the cold. X amount of first time bome buyers, student loans,reperations etc. Interest rates are blanket coverage. Doing the things Harris wants to do is discriminating towards those left out.

Of course there are "equity" restrictions to the first time home buyers plan.
Sellers will just jack up the price of the house to get that extra "incentive" in the cost to buyers.

Best thing to do is to stop suppressing rates. Let them go up. That will put pressure on housing and slow inflation. It may also put alot of pressure on the stock market and we may get a pretty big correction (so be it to save the dollar).
I would also put restrictions on foreign buyers (have to be a legal resident to buy a property here) and restrictions on investors/flippers.

Make it illegal for anyone in congress to buy or trade stocks also.

What happened tonight wasn't a victory of one person or one political party. It was a victory for America.
As Trump said in his speech, "This was the night that the American people took their country back."

FJB! Enough of the DEI and trans testicles playing in women's sports! My mom voted for Harris because she thinks the democrat party is the same as it was in 1960 and US Steel is the most valuable company in America. She also tried to convert me to a Dolphin fan in 1972 when we moved to Florida. I said Steelers or nothing and Trump #45/#47!

Call it the Nancy Law.
sure it will , you have to look deeper ... he is also looking to mass deport illegals which will increase current housing availability , increase current supply and reduce demand thus reduce the cost of housing
Kenny Pickett is who I though he was .. Eagles problem now
Who is building the houses? Granted my experience is solely related to my area but all the trades are heavily dependent on legal and illegal workers. Especially at the wages they pay.
shift the entire labor force to full documentation and wage costs go up. That’s gonna get passed on to the consumers.
American workers will be building the houses , constructions based jobs pay pretty well if you are the skilled labor ....we wont need as many new homes once 20 million illegals are no longer here... here in the northeast we didnt have a migrant construction workforce until 3 years ago and things went just fine ..... these Migrants are performing some pretty shitty work anyways ...
example the house across the road from me went on the market 2 years ago and it has a concrete front porch that sits about 3 feet above ground level but did not have railing around it .... they hired migrants to come put railing on that porch they came in an suv with a bunch of 2x4s a hammer and nails and a chain saw and that is how they attached the railing .... it looked like hell and was not strong enough to do anything let alone hold a human from falling off the edge ... the very first thing the new owners did (Before they moved anything in) was to rip down the railing..... it not only looks 1000x better without the railing but it no longer gives anyone a false sense of security .....

That is interesting. Very different from my experiences. Here (my part of the Midwest) almost all trades are absolutely dependent on non-English as a first language workers for unskilled and semi-skilled labor. It gets a bit more broad when you start getting into the skilled trades. Limited experience in the Southeast and no one on the housing build site spoke English as a primary language. I understand that using English as a stand in for immigration status is wildly inaccurate and kind of off base -- but it is what we have for the moment. In both the Midwest and the Southeast I have had owners of the trade business tell me that they are absolutely dependent on immigrant labor. Indicated that they can not find "local boys" who will show up consistently sober and do the same work. Again...this is just my anecdotal experiences over the last 10-15 years in two places.
This is not a defense or justification of this or that immigration policy. Just a prediction that IF deportations are carried out at the levels that have been promised, home prices and trade work prices will go up. The increased labor cost will be passed on to the consumer. It always is.
As to the quality of the work....that is a problem and has been for some time everywhere I go and with everyone I talk to. In my area you can now get away with partition walls only being studded every 24 inches. I am a small dude and I can make the entire wall move. We had the "gold standard" of local remodel companies do some work on the house a few years ago. Luckily the "bones" of the project were done right....that had to pass inspection....but the finishes? Lick and a promise. Wife and I had to go back through and make it right.
My house is 70+ years old and despite it needing constant fixing up and wanting more space....we are hesitant to move because anything built more recently is total crap. No one cares. Just make it look nice in pictures and sell it for an inflated price. Who cares if the insulation is crap, the fixtures are all cheap and won't last....wish I knew enough to just build an entire house myself....only way to get it right...anyways.....I've now crossed over into grumpy old man ranting....

We just built our house (2nd one we've had built) and it's wasn't even close to what you describe with your experience.
What you do if you're building is get a highly recommended contractor that works hand in hand with you. You walk through the building site weekly if not daily. If you see something you don't like let it be known and have it corrected before it's too late. You pick out your own fixtures, usually you have an allowance to do so. Same with appliances, flooring, and so on.
And if there is something you can do that saves money with sweat equity do so. No matter how small you think it is, it saves a few $ here and there. Even just cleanups help.
Mainly if you want things done a certain way MAKE IT KNOWN and stay on top of it.

Yeah. No disagreements here. Precisely how close friends and family have gotten the results they wanted.
Unfortunately, much of the inventory for sale in my area is already built out and you can have this one or that one. Getting into the situation you are describing is ideal but not easy to find until the existing inventory gets sold down. Many developers are not building new units until they unload the ones they get caught holding onto when the local market slowed.
we cant forget in all of this that those illegals (20 million or so of them) are living someone and once they are deported those places are now vacant for rent/lease/sale so housing supply will be up and demand will be down and consequently that will be reflected in the cost of such

If you want to fix the housing crisis:
1. Eliminate cap gains taxes on investment properties which will increase the velocity of resales.
2. Allow current mortgages to be modified for fee and make them transferrable to the next buyer. Good if it's low interest.

Are you serious or being sarcastic? She opened an already secure border. Never answered a question intelligently in an interview. Last person in the room before the orderly withdraw from Afghanistan. I'm guessing you are joking. Reality is that the only think anyone likes about her is the fact that she's a woman, fake black, and loves abortion. None are reasons to vote for a President.
I find it hilariously stupid that over 60 million people voted for this cackling goose thinking she could manage our Economy when she raised a BILLION dollars and spent it all in 107 days and wound up 20 million in debt and cant pay her staffers .....
