It's only healthy if prices have been relatively stable for the 5 years prior to that as well. If prices were on a steady rise and then only back to pre-pandemic, this is losing ground to where they should be. However, in addition, we can see that nominal prices remain stable over multiple 5 year periods. So yes, healthy. Too bad that this very good presentation on a decent blog has such a clickbait headline. I guess that's the world we live in. Someone somewhere is going to say this is the death of lumber or other such drama, based on just the title of the post though.
