Tell that to my boy in Utah. He and his wife have been waiting months for their $300k+ home to be built. The builder is swamped with work, putting up homes in this price range. Any open space around Salt Lake City is being gobbled up for tract homes.
I see the same around St. George in the south.
Utah is one of the busiest lumber markets in the country right now. They are just slammed with business.
The biggest problem is a shortage of available trucks to go to this market. There is very little material to load on a flatbed to come back out of Utah(except salt).
With the exception of some parts of the northeast and New England(CT specifically) all our retail and wood truss manufactures business is very busy this year. We have retail lumber and wood truss manufacturers telling us their business is up 15-20% over last year.
