Blog > 2024 Presidential Elections and Southeast Idaho Real Estate
With the 2024 Presidential elections on the horizon, there’s a lot of speculation about how new policies could impact the housing market in Southeast Idaho. While no one can predict the future, Idaho Agents Real Estate knows how to read the current real estate market and help you navigate any changes that may come. Whether you’re in Idaho Falls, Rexburg, Rigby, Blackfoot, or Pocatello, working with an experienced local agent is the best way to stay ahead during this period of uncertainty.
Understanding Election Impacts on Real Estate
Election years often bring a mix of anticipation and uncertainty to real estate markets across the country. While it's impossible to know exactly what new policies a president or Congress might pass, we do know that changes to things like interest rates, tax policies, and economic regulations can affect home buying and selling. For example, buyers may rush to lock in mortgage rates if they believe rates will rise post-election. Sellers might try to sell before potential tax hikes or new regulations.
But instead of trying to predict the future, it’s more important to focus on what we do know: the current state of the market in Southeast Idaho.
