I know some people in the home building business. Quotes for supplies used to be good for about 1 month.

Now suppliers can only guarantee quotes for up to 3 days max

cliffvb: lumber

Good news for the real estate resale market! New homes are becoming prohibitively expensive. To meet a price point, builders will skimp elsewhere--cheaper kitchen cabinets, for example. No thank you.

I'm one of the folks trying to get a house built in the coming year. It's madness. I've been checking the NAHB.org website a few times a week and homebuilders are mad as hell as what they perceive to be price-gouging by different players in the lumber industry. It's not the loggers. It's the middlemen. And the mills have been sluggish getting production back up.

NAHB is begging and pleading with Biden administration depts to cancel tariffs on Canadian lumber.
