Illegal Immigration and the Impact on National Home Prices

It’s an interesting question. On the one hand, you’d expect housing prices to go down if an estimated 3-4 million homes were suddenly vacated. On the other hand, if you deported 15 million or so illegals tomorrow construction costs and inflation would spike across the board.

It’s all academic though, because there will still be many millions of illegals here when Trump leaves office in 2028.

More than when he arrived.

That I doubt. The continued ICE raids will have to reduce the numbers of undocumented crossing the border.

Agree.  And for awhile at least, the ones that remain will be less likely to show up for work than they used to be.

Are you acknowledging that the price impact would be felt primarily in specific areas most impacted?

IMO, if home prices come down in the next few years, it’s going to be driven by increases in unemployment.  Of course I know if that happens people will claim it was because of mass deportations.

Only took a month to prove my prediction correct.  He even claims it was the biggest driver in blue cities, lololol

What a moron you are. Millions of people have left and you think it has no affect. The laws of supply and demand don’t exist in your stupid brain.  Go away.

OH NOOOOOOOOOS!!!! NOT AARON RUPAR!!!!! 

And I bet he thought he finally had his first "gotcha" here in the GC.  He's so sad and pathetic.  Imagine if he just used his own brain instead of regurgitating the dogma?

Why are you commenting about Aaron Rupar?  All he did was quote what JD said.

Lol at anyone that thinks kicking out illegals with 5 people renting 1 bedroom apartments in high crime areas is going to have any noticeable impact on national home prices.

WTF? 
 

Through August 10, ICE has detained 59,000 people in 2025. And not all of them have been deported:

Self deportations were up to 1.6 million last month. Ok. Almost 2 million. 

[The Real timschochet 6,966]

If mass deportations ever happen it will absolutely raise the cost of housing, not lower it. 
But the truth is mass deportation is NOT happening. The numbers are pretty comparable to the last several years. What IS happening is a big show which scares the hell out of people and which is terrible for our economy. But people aren’t leaving.

And even if it were, that’s about 0.5% of the population.  Not enough to make a dent in home prices, even if illegals were buying up $500k+ housing inventory en masse which they’re not.

"Since then, data shows border crossings have plummeted, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrests have doubled, and the number of people in detention is at an all-time high."
