As experts attempt to predict the impact of a trade war on the economy, most agree that there will be both upsides and downsides for real estate.
 
Here’s a summary of recent developments on the trade war. During trade talks, China refused a deal on U.S. agricultural products. That triggered an order from President Trump to impose an additional 10% tariffs on the remaining $300 billion worth of Chinese goods not yet subject to tariffs. After that, China devalued its Yuan, and is now threatening to do more of the same if the trade war drags on.
