Lumber prices are through the roof!!!

Just priced some 2x6x12's (treated) from Lowes and $20 ea!!! Looking at some 3/8" plywood too.... $38 a sheet! I bought this same plywood last year for $17 a sheet! Guess since the storms, everyone needs lumber and why not charge an arm and a leg for it!

Covid related.
Was high as giraffe pussy before the storms.

Lumber prices are racist. I should get a discount.

It’s doubled in the past 3 months. Over $1,000 per thousand board feet right now. Absolute insanity.

Easy explanation. These lumber guys love crawfish, and the only way afford them is to increase lumber prices.

Actually $5.15 at the same time last year.

It's not Covid related per se. It is a culmination of insanely low interest rates (which means more building), the mills working at full speed (market dynamics/ too little capacity to create framing lumber), and the *invisible force/china* of the market buying up all available supply.
BTW, the guys that own tree farms (the suppliers of the wood we need) are getting all time low rates for their product. The only people making $ are the mills that process the wood.
If you had the $ to build mills in rural GA, SC, AL you could make a fricking killing these days.

Main problem is there are about half the amount of mills in the US now compared to just 15-20 years ago.
When the housing crisis hit the mills began closing. Now when things are the opposite the supply chain can not keep up.

Prices will drop when we start receiving Chinese imports.
The quality will be as poor as the bogus, contaminated drywall they sent.
