Inflation Shock: Lumber Prices Up 188% Since Scamdemic Start
The cost of lumber has gone up 188% since the beginning of the pandemic, which raises the cost of new builds and could price out some homebuyers.


SKAGIT COUNTY, Wash. — Anyone buying lumber these days is in for sticker shock. Prices are at unprecedented levels, and it's affecting everyone from people planning home construction projects to home builders, like Landed Gentry Homes.

The Skagit Valley home builder has never seen lumber prices skyrocket like this before.

The price of lumber has gone up 188% since the beginning of the pandemic, adding at least $24,000 to the price of a new single-family home, according to the National Association of Home Builders.

"There were a few instances where we did not make a profit on the house," said Kendra Decker, who handles sales and marketing with Landed Gentry.

So what's driving prices up? Lumber mills pulled back on production at the beginning of the pandemic and now they're trying to make up for it. But that's not the only reason.

"We've had lumber tariffs that have happened over the last several years, you know for Canadian lumber, and that's affected lumber prices in the U.S.," said Gentry. "We've had several mills that have shut down in the last three or four years, and so there's just less supply coming to the system."

Tight supply and unexpected demand for housing could price some people out of buying a home.

They don't really care whether the truth gets out, because the public no longer knows what's meant by "the truth."

Well, I mean, no one can tell the difference anymore between what's real and what's fake.

Anyway, the point is, I can tell you all of this, right out in the open, because it doesn't matter who knows about it. They won't know whether to believe it or not.-

I can't figure out how the hell people can afford to build houses.

I'm converting our cabin to a tiny home and need lumber and a pre-built addition.

The addition went from $7,500 to $9,000

The lumber? Priced in 2019 it was around $1,200. It's being delivered on the 13th and is $2,000.

People don't seem to understand covid and the agenda behind it.

ITs 100% about slowing or stopping carbon consumption and pollution.

Covid it self is not the real threat. The vaccines are the medium for death.
They are designed primarily to destroy fertility in humans across the planet. Especially in India and China.

Side effect bonuses are killing off pensioners..

Disrupting the economies supply lines and covid cheques = inflation.

Inflation = less consumption because no one can afford anything..

Again, it all comes back to climate change and the globalist think there are too many people on the planet. They want the world population under 1 billion by 2030.

The tariffs aren't as big a deal as they make out. I mean they do o have an effect but there's other factors for treated wood. The author of that doesn't seem aware of the storm damage effect in Texas. The lumberyards were having a hard time treating due to equipment shortages, but that's a time limited problem that's about to resolve.

Does this mean concrete housing will be cheaper than wood soon? Or even steel? I would assume they would go up in price in lock step with lumber but I haven't been watching prices on concrete and steel. Anyone know?
