Am I completely out of the loop or is this sarcasm? I thought the lumber costs were skyrocketing and housing prices were too. At least in the US, I thought this was the case.
- eberkund 5y agoSarcasm, the exact opposite is true.
- MattGaiser 5y agoNot OP, but it is sarcasm. Lumber is at record prices. https://tradingeconomics.com/commodity/lumber https://tradingeconomics.com/commodity/lumber
- wyldfire 5y agoWow, history goes back to 1979. Roughly same 200-600 USD envelope until 2020.
- bobthepanda 5y agoAre those 2021 dollars? The 1979 value of $200 would be $735 today.
- rhinoceraptor 5y agoSheathing plywood and OSB are now basically as expensive as cabinet grade hardwood plywood. It's insane.
- rwcarlsen 5y agoIn many places cabinet grade hardwood plywood is cheaper! I could sheath my roof and house with 3/4" cabinet grade maple for the same price as "cheap" ugly OSB.
