President Donald Trump has made it clear he wants to bring outsourced manufacturing jobs back to the U.S. This is known as “reshoring” — the practice of bringing production operations that were moved abroad back to a company’s country of origin.

It’s something that has already been happening, and some states are well ahead of others — which could have an effect on local economies and housing markets.

According to the Reshoring Initiative, nearly 245,000 U.S. manufacturing jobs were announced in 2024 due to reshoring and foreign domestic investment (FDI). The number of reshored jobs also outpaced FDI jobs by the widest margin since the group began tracking numbers in 2010 — 156,973 reshored jobs to 87,968 FDI jobs. And 2025 is projected to see six-figure job gains as well.

So, which jobs are coming to the U.S., where and why?

Texas leads the way

Approximately 88% of announced jobs in 2024 were in high- and medium-tech sectors, per the group. The leading industries were computers and electronics, electrical equipment and transportation equipment.

Texas (24,722), Kentucky (18,495), North Carolina (17,084), Tennessee (16,022) and Ohio (12,167) were the states that gained the most reshored and FDI jobs last year.

“Favorable costs, infrastructure, an established ecosystem for hot products, incentives and right-to-work make the Southeast the leading region for manufacturing investment,” the Reshoring Initiative stated in its annual report.

Early data indicates that Texas is leading the charge in 2025 job gains as well.

As industries shifted into 2025, the report notes reshoring and FDI has been increasingly motivated by tariffs as Biden-era incentives begin to expire. But some companies lack confidence in the permanence of Trump’s trade and industrial policies, and may be hesitant to commit to bringing jobs to the U.S. If that confidence is won, however, the report says the amount of announced jobs could surge rapidly.

How this can affect housing markets

Adding jobs can drive change on multiple levels. New workers can contribute to and revitalize local economies.

“This means more demand for housing, which will be welcome in Texas, where inventory has grown significantly and the housing market has slowed down,” Joel Berner, senior economist for Realtor.com, told the website in a story published July 28.

But he warns that reshoring can drive up home prices even more, which could be problematic if incomes don’t rise accordingly.

“Reshoring could mean more competition for homes on the market, which could drive up prices and hurt affordability,” he said.

This could be especially true in areas investing in high-tech manufacturing.

“These are often high-skilled, well-paying jobs that support homeownership, even in a higher mortgage rate environment,” John Macke, research analyst at John Burns Research and Consulting, told Realtor.com.

For areas with lower-wage job growth, he noted rental demand is likely to see a boost.
