Building A New Home? Soaring Lumber Prices Adds $24,000 To New Construction Build
[link to www.zerohedge.com (secure)]


Lumber prices have hit $1,000 per thousand board feet, an all-time high in recent weeks, and could extend gains this year as homebuilding and renovation demand outstrips production. Soaring lumber prices have greatly added to construction costs over the last year and could stifle the number of planned residential construction projects across the US.

"Production is going to have a hard time keeping up with demand growth as the world economy bounces back from Covid-19 in 2021-22," Paul Jannke, Forest Economic Advisors LLC.'s principal of lumber, said during a conference this week who Bloomberg quoted. He believes average lumber prices will remain elevated.

Now the question readers have is how much are these rising costs adding to the construction build? Well, the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) said rising lumber prices had added $24.4k of costs to the build in the past ten months.

Weeks ago, the Associated General Contractors of America (AGC) penned a letter to the White House requesting the Biden administration to intervene.

"AGC believes the White House can play a constructive role in mitigating this growing threat to multifamily housing and other construction sectors by urging domestic lumber producers to ramp up production to ease growing shortages and making it a priority to work with Canada on a new softwood lumber agreement," the AGC wrote in a letter.

NAHB has also been vocal and requested the federal government to intervene and lower lumber prices. They asked the Biden administration to end tariffs on Canadian lumber shipments to alleviate supply shortages.

You could build a nice home in the 70’s for $24,000


You could probably still build a nice one room cabin for that doing it yourself today. Not quite the same as a 3 bedroom ranch with attached garage you could have gotten back then

I had to replace 3 each 4x4 fence posts (8 foot) after the winter weather here in Texas last month when a tree limb took out a section of fence.
When I put the fence in back in 2005 I paid about $5.00 for each fence post.
I paid $15.00 bucks each at Lowes last week.....

Have noticed that even reclaimed wood at Restore Habitats is creeping up in price.

People determined to build new are going to have to scale back and/or look for material substitutions.
And thought struggles against the results, trying to avoid those unpleasant results while keeping on with that way of thinking. That is what I call 'sustained incoherence.' ...David Bohm
