Today’s MH Market Spotlight Report –
There are those who think that the Trump Administration’s policy on tariffs, trade and negotiations are madness. Others, think it is overdue, and necessary.
We’ve seen recently expert takes by those who believe that the U.S. does have the upper hand. A signal from some German automakers may reflect that possibility.
China is number one in exports, the U.S. is number 2. What that suggests in part is that China needs us, more than we need them. Yes, costs would go up those products were produced domestically, but after decades of so-called free trade – what the president calls unfair, stupid trade – will result in more U.S. jobs over time, and higher wages too.
Lumber and metals in manufactured homes are among the items that are imported, as well as some finished goods. But they are needed in conventional construction too, so the margin of savings should remain similar.
