Lumber prices continue to skyrocket

June 1, 2021 By Geoffrey Disch Leave a Comment

As if the low housing inventory wasn’t bad enough – especially in the Bay Area – a severe lumber shortage, made considerably worse by the pandemic, is slowing new home construction. A number of lumber mills closed for good during the Great Recession and the stay-at-home orders during the pandemic made the situation that much worse.

Lumber futures have increased by over 540 percent in a little over a year! Analysts say this will result in a $35,900 increase in the average cost of a new single-family home.

While lumber mills are finally amping up operations, experts warn that a shortage of imports from Canada and the high cost of diesel fuel – needed for logging trucks – will continue to have an adverse effect for the foreseeable future.
