If I knew that, I would be buying and selling commodities contracts. I hope they level off, though. Some things have settled down some already like fencing but then you turn around and pay nearly $30 per sheet for 1/2 OSB that was around $8 last year.
I get that, just trying to see if anyone heard if they expect things to come down a little if Covid started getting under control and mills open up more. Plus hurricane damage didn’t help around here.

Steel doubled in the past few months as well

You guys should go to a local mill and buy rough cut lumber for this type of stuff. It's cheap.
Prices from a mill in Orange TX as of today
Don’t have a lot of knowledge in this, but doesn’t the wood have to dry out before it can be used and that’s months?
Are boards from plants like that dried before they are sold or are they fresh cut?

Is this on the charts anywhere? I keep hearing this but I can’t seem to find any national info.

I just finished my home in August, framing was done in April. Costs are double now.

Those purple stud length 2x4s were $7 a piece!!! That’s at least 3x what they were 10 years ago
They were $2.16 each in January of last year.
I was gonna say, "10 years ago they were under a buck"

Most smaller sawmills kiln dry their lumber too.

Let's go into business together and use your chips to make OSB. At the current $30 per sheet, we can become OT rich.

Prediction: may 2021. Prices will be lower by at least 40-% by then
They may go down the until May or level out but once things get cranked up again in the northern state we could see another spike and that will be from an already inflated price. They will not just catch up the backlog that they have now by May. Looking maybe 4th qt of 2021

That new cookie cutter, terrible arse neighborhood of 73 in Dutchtown is going for 200+ sqft. The ugliest one in the neighborhood was 206. It was pushing 300k and was only about 1500 sqft

I'll put up $100k. You put up the other $100 million. And we'll be rolling in three years.

The in-laws own several thousands of acres in pine trees. Is now the time to cut it all?

Poster "No Colors" has the correct answer.
There remains a glut of harvestable timber, but a lack of mills/processing facilities.
It's a bottleneck. Mill owners have the world (perhaps just the region) by the short and curlies.

Thanks for the link. We've been planning to build a utility building (workshop, storage, clubhouse) and one of those buildings could save us some money. We had plans for a pole barn structure drawn up, but I just could't get over spending that much money on a structure that felt "temporary".
