Tariffs and update from my builder

My builder has checked with his suppliers and they are saying 15%-20% increase in materials if the 25% tariffs become reality.

So possibly an extra $75k extra on a low $600k build.

Obviously each situation is different. We're in the Midwest and this is a custom build, fwiw.

He's advising to wait 1-2 months to see if things settle; he said he tracks prices monthly and can get a good sense usually of trends but right now there's too much volatility for him to feel certain.

I've worked with him in the past and I very much trust him and his judgement, so we'll be sitting tight for now.

Just wanted to share this info because I have been very concerned about what impact this political situation could have on this build we've been planning for a couple of years now.
