Have you priced lumber to renovating your deck lately? Thinking of building a new home? Think prices are out of control?
U. S. Senator Jerry Moran is also concerned. He spoke on the Senate Floor regarding record high lumber prices across the Country and the impact they are having on home builders and home buyers and solutions for decreasing the cost of lumber:
These increases have resulted in a $36,000 increase in the price of a typical single family home and a $13,000 increase in the market value of a multifamily unit. Moran is calling for a complete elimination of tariffs on Canadian producers to provide relief for rising lumber prices.
