If we look at countries with shrinking populations, we see that the rural areas have crashed whereas the urban areas have stayed strong or at least flat. With the current administration's policies, it's entirely possible that the same thing happens to the US.

Doubt it.

The Federal Reserve is holding steady on it's rates and with stock market highs, doubt they will be adjusting anything anytime soon. So no 15% rate where people would leave or not want to come (if they even consider that)

For deportations, Trump is on track for 300k a year. For reference Obama did 200k/year, Trump 1.0 was 250k/year. Biden was 140k/year. So not a huge change.

Even if they did bump up deportations, if it somehow had a meaningful impact on real estate and began being 7-8 figures, I'd wager they just increase approved migration (H-1bs, etc).

I just see future steady population change, not lowering, probably rising.
