Buy as much as you need now before people start buying it to heat their homes.

Lumber went to all time highs in 2020 and 2021 because of an increase in demand at the same time as decrease in production.
Production has finally increased to meet demand. So, prices are coming back down to where they normal range they were in pre covid.

Fine by me.
I put off a couple of unessential projects last year because of prices. Might be a good summer to have some fun building again

Lumber is still 35% higher than pre-pandemic, so it’s coming down to reality.

Can I borrow $10 for gas so I can go get some less expensive lumber?

We started a major renovation on our house in March of '21. In February, the contractor/architect suggested that I authorize him to purchase all the lumber immediately. I agreed and he did.

three months later the price had dramatically increased. He saved me a good amount of change.

Still getting decent prices for timber. Timberland owners never saw a bump from the high prices from last year.

On the plus side, I may actually get to replace the sagging subfloor in my MBR.

Delivery charges due to higher priced diesel or any gasolene will probably negate any lower lumber prices. The bigest shipping cost increase is from the forest to where you buy your lumber.

janet janet yellen yellen says there is not recession coming.

nothing to worry about.

/s

The only bright thing in this year is that I waited to build our planned addition and have the money set aside for it.

Now I wonder if I want to build it at all ‘ecept the foundation is laid.
