Despite fears that Donald Trump's mass deportation orders could harm the housing market by affecting undocumented labor in construction, evidence from a recent survey by John Burns Research and Consulting (JBREC) indicates little immediate impact. Only 11% of homebuilders reported any labor force changes due to immigration policies. Major construction firms, like Century Communities and Beazer, echoed this sentiment during earnings calls, stating that they have not felt significant effects from deportations on their operations.
"This is still early on unfolding. We have not seen anything on the ground or in our cost structure that needs us to react in a certain way."
