Lumber Prices

Lumber prices vary throughout the year depending on supply and demand. Timber markets are cyclical, and prices can fluctuate dramatically. Prices depend on the type of lumber you are buying and the quantities that you purchase. There are several things macroeconomically that affect the price of lumber, and they are: Demand: The demand for wood is determined by the need for lumber for residential, commercial, and agricultural construction. Stockpiles: The number of trees in the forest determines how many planks, boards, and logs can be harvested each year. Weather conditions: Rain and snowfall affect the amount of harvestable material available during a given year.

Lumber prices are constantly changing based on the current political climate in the countries of origin. Import tariffs have increased the cost of Canadian lumber by over 25% in recent years.
