With the arrival of a new presidential administration, real estate investors are bracing for policy shifts that could shape the market in the years ahead. Historically, transitions in power bring a mix of policy changes that influence the markets—some immediate, others gradual. While no one can predict with certainty what lies ahead, understanding the potential implications and remaining adaptable is critical. Changes in tax policies, interest rates, and housing regulations are among the key areas that may influence real estate investing strategies. TAX POLICY: WHAT TO WATCH Tax policy is a pivotal factor for real estate investors, particularly during transitions of power when changes to capital gains taxes, deductions, and 1031 exchanges often come under review. Adjustments to capital gains rates, for example, could discourage property flipping, prompting investors to hold assets longer, which may lead to greater market stability. On the other hand, policies like permanently extending mortgage interest deductions could make homeownership more appealing, driving demand and potentially elevating property values. As these potential shifts unfold, investors must stay informed to adapt their strategies and seize emerging opportunities. INTEREST RATES: A BALANCING ACT Interest rates are one of the most immediate factors influencing real estate. Although the Federal Reserve operates independently, its policies are often determined by broader economic goals set by the administration. If controlling inflation becomes a priority, rates may rise, increasing borrowing costs for acquisitions and development. Alternatively, if economic growth is a central focus, rates could dip, making capital more affordable and fueling market activity. While there were hopes for interest rate reductions in the near future, real estate investors should prepare for rate fluctuations that can significantly impact both short- and long-term financing strategies. ADAPTING TO REGULATORY ADJUSTMENTS Regulatory changes and programs aimed at tackling housing shortages and affordability challenges could also impact the real estate market. Adjustments to building and permitting regulations, for example, have the potential to bring more homes to market faster. “He’s bringing a lot of people from the real estate industry into his administration who understand how growth takes place. If we’re able to remove some of the red tape—then we’ll be able to expedite these projects,” said Bo Belmont, founder of Belwood Investments, during a recent episode of Unconventional with Bill Tessar, the podcast hosted by CV3 Financial Services’ CEO. At the same time, new regulatory measures—such as expanded rent control—could impact profitability in certain markets, requiring investors to stay agile, informed, and adaptable to uncover opportunities in a changing landscape. SEIZING OPPORTUNITY IN UNCERTAINTY While change often brings uncertainty, it also opens doors to new opportunities. Investors who stay informed and adaptable are best positioned to capitalize on trends, such as increased demand for new construction developments and growth in secondary markets.
