Report finds cost to build single-family homes in TN could increase amid lumber tariffs
SUMMARY: Homebuyers in Middle Tennessee could face higher costs due to tariffs on imported materials, which account for about 7% of goods used in residential construction. A report from the National Association of Home Builders suggests that tariffs could increase the cost of building a new single-family home by $7,500 to $10,000. Softwood lumber, primarily sourced from Canada, and gypsum for drywall are key materials affected. Despite potential cost increases, Ole South Properties plans to avoid passing higher prices to buyers immediately, opting instead to build smaller homes. Industry leaders are hopeful that domestic suppliers will eventually meet demand.
