About Lumber
Lumber (random length 2×4 framing timber) is a key indicator of US housing market health, with single-family housing starts being the primary demand driver. Prices surged to an all-time high above $1,700/MBF in 2021 during pandemic-era home renovation and construction booms, then crashed by over 75% as demand normalized. Canadian lumber (primarily British Columbia) supplies roughly 25% of US demand; trade disputes, softwood lumber duties, and mountain pine beetle damage are structural supply constraints.
