NAHB: Tariffs Could Add $7,500–$10,000 Per New Home in 2026
The National Association of Home Builders forecasted that tariffs will have a cost impact of $7,500 to $10,000 per single-family home in 2026, while the more aggressive Center for American Progress projected a $17,500 cost impact per new home based on a model predicting a $27 billion annual construction tariff impact by 2030. Smaller builders will likely be hit hardest and first, with cost impacts then lagging upward through regional and national homebuilders who tend to be partially insulated by long-term material contracts — making cost management and strategic material procurement more critical than ever for independent Oregon and Washington residential contractors bidding new projects this spring.
