Anonymous Coward User ID: 80212791 United States 05/26/2021 07:31 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | When Trump put tariffs on Chinese stainless steel, I remember suppliers I used went out of their way on the quote to point out that prices went up specifically mentioning Trump and the tariffs as the cause... Literally putting that statement on the quote for no apparent reason. And the product only used a small amount of steel. Do you think companies will do the same for Biden? |

User ID: 77067792 United States 05/26/2021 07:59 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I don't understand why lumber skyrocketed. I get the labor reduction, etc., but this is extreme. My deck is rotting and I planned on replacing this spring. But I'm doing a few boards at a time now. $17 per 1x6. Stupid.

In my area which isn't as expensive you're looking at 400,000 minimum to build a new home |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 77331342 05/26/2021 08:12 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Business channels have been having the home builders on for interviews. They are all saying the same thing. They are selling their homes almost too fast. They say that as one project is winding down they have another beginning. They said this model isn't working now because the new homes are selling so fast they don't have time to get the next project up and running. A couple said they raised prices to try and discourage fast sell outs and it didn't work! |
