Fact Check: Did Immigration Slow Housing Price Growth?

Media Bias Fact Check (MBFC) publishes daily vetted fact checks from verified IFCN-approved sources. Each claim is independently reviewed for accuracy and context.

Claimant: JD Vance (R)

Claim: U.S. housing price growth slowed to about 1–2% under Trump mainly because of negative net migration and efforts to deport undocumented immigrants.

Rating: MOSTLY FALSE

Explanation: FactCheck.org reports home price growth slowed to roughly 1.6%, but the deceleration began in early 2024—months before Trump took office. Economists attribute the trend to high home prices, elevated mortgage rates, demographic factors, and buyer caution. Immigration played no demonstrated major role.
