Check lumber prices. We noticed.
But people are flocking to buy lumber. There is no slow down of construction. Construction boomed during covid. People have $$$$$. Those high lumber prices were manipulated by the industry. They know people will pay these prices so they’re going to stay high.
Same with beef prices a few years ago during the drought that caused ranchers to nearly give away their stock for the market. Prices skyrocketed in the grocery store when cattle was being sold dirt cheap. Prices have not gone down.
