Hi Ninja, we live in B.C., Canada, in the heart of lumber production territory, and I can tell you we have no shortage of workers, trees, or routes/means of getting lumber/plywood/O.S.B. out to market. All the producers have gone from 3 shifts 24/7 production to 1 shift, and doing a week long " holiday " intermittently through out the months. The shipping yards are stacked up four slings high, with no where to send the finished products because the demand has collapsed. They are going to try to hype the consumers into thinking that there will be huge price increases due to environmental circumstances, earthquakes, meteorite strikes, the dam above the only highway broke, etc. etc.

you know little about b.c.'s forest industry , we are regularly closing mills due to lack of tree's due to pine beetle , fir beetle and spruce bud worm , never mind forest fires

[@myronhelton4441]

@@charlesboston1 If they never cut ANY TREES DOWN AT ALL, bugs will have a chance to eat more trees. To many trees in a forest chokes them out. Since the 2008 crash with all this money printing ever since, with the population diybled, but with half the houses been built since 2008, hardly any lumber has been cut in all that time, means forest are full as heck with trees, so lumber going up in price at all is bs.

Another interesting indicator might be the sale of power tools. I was at Lowe’s today. There was a Bosch rep in the tool area and I started chatting with her. Long story short, I walked out with 2 saws for $160, 3 free batteries and chargers. She threw in the third battery and 20% off on top of everything. I have never bought quality power tools so cheap. I saved $350. All the boxes were covered in dust. They had been on the self a long time.

[@fruitloops3718]

Part of that is the quality of the cheap tools is similar to the expensively priced bosch tools. So they just sit on the shelf until there's a good sale. I used to purchase Makita tools which worked about the same as the cheap tools. I found very little difference except for the price.

[@blackcatnh]

Hello from a brother-in-JC, FF2/EMT from the Granite State, Live Free or Die. Been tracking lumber price since 2020 just by checking the price of an 8-foot 2x4 at Home Depot and taking a picture of the price tag with my phone (which records the date). It's definitely going down and I have the pics to prove it! However, I noticed anything finely milled (like T&G pine panels) have stayed about the same. My mother lives in the Boston suburbs, which appear to me as an air pocket in the sinking ship. There's a ton of money in the area AND early-stage construction, but I still see the signs of sinking when I look at the "boiler rooms, second & third class" (I'm a Titanic nerd since the wreck was discovered in '85). One new project is right across the street from my mother's house. Builder bought 1940s cape style house in 2019 and got approved to add a full second floor + enlarge footprint. Pandemic got in the way. Site was idle, permits expired, bank took the property and just sold it to another developer whom I have met & talked to. They are filing for the same permits & plans the previous developer had. He said he has other projects around this area. One of them are a pair of new homes from a 2021 "raze and rebuild" project on the main street, wooded area about 1/4 mile from Boston's inner belt highway. Talk about perfection! YET THOSE HOUSES DIDNT SELL WHEN COMPLETED LAST NOVEMBER. There was a price reduction almost right away. Then an open house. A couple months later another open house. Finally in March ONE of the two houses got a "Sale Pending" sign which it's had ever since. The other house is still on the market. When I talk to this builder he seems excited about his projects. The area IS an air pocket in the sinking ship. There's a lot of money in Boston. But it's still a part of a ship that's sinking. The air pockets in Titanic wiped out the stern section by exploding & imploding. Air pockets go last but they go big. I think anyone following this economy should read Walter Lord's books about the Titanic (A Night To Remember, and The Night Lives On.) He highlights the human behaviors very well, from the individual level, by social class, by society as a whole. The ship was a microcosm for what we all have now. The lights are still on. The band is still playing. The bridge officers are telling us everything is OK, "The Olympic will be alongside any minute now" and "Those in the lifeboats will be back aboard for breakfast, it's just a precaution". But they knew. The ship's designer was aboard, inspected the damage himself, then went to the bridge and did the math. He told the captain/officers exactly what would happen. Did they spread the information around the passengers? NO. We see the same from the "leaders" now! There were passengers who, for one reason or another, were "tuned in", took a walk to find out what was happening, and chose a course of action for themselves. Those would be the folks we call "awake" today. 1912's "unsinkable" hype is today's "too big to fail." But what happened? The unsinkable ship sank which put society in a state of shock. Today they're set up for the same, all over again. Human behavior is human behavior. The story of Titanic as told by Walter Lord is a very good study on it.

What I dont understand is the prices for 2x4's was high in January...and the label on the lumber said "product of Sweden", "product of Cambodia". So why in the state of NC with thousands of pine trees and Washington state the higher producer and Maine, known as thr Pine state, is the lumber coming from overseas?

Market should be in the toilet for years but mills have a unique ability to modify production to match demand or shut down mills with no regard for employees.

These monster structure are being built everywhere. People can't afford a new build with rates so high even with builder point buys. People need a roof over there heads. I am seeing as the infrastructure [ dirt work and underground utilities are going in] we are seeing the entire lumber packs, including prefab roof trusses being delivered. Despite they are 2 months out on 1st Frame out. They are pretty buying with lumber companies for lumber packs for the next year to lock in rates. New homes have slowed to a crawl. You have New sites everything in but the houses . Most developers are sitting on completed homes with very few sold. They will sit with 8 and when 4 sale they will build 4 more. They are constantly going in these homes and putting in upgrades. I have seen New vinyl siding torn off with Hard shiplapp go up carpet out laminate in.very few are lowering price point. I drive by a set of house finished in the winter and still sitting . These neighborhoods before you could not get a house. They are also pre Purchasing lumber packs sitting and waiting for a lot to commission a home. All the developers and suppliers are seeing this next crisis on the horizon. There is no crisis. The lumber yards are at capacity. The trains don't stop coming. Lumber co. Are renting warehouse space to house all that is coming in . But also hiding it inside so they can live the lie of a shortage. We could stop cutting trees today. With all the milled lumber available you would not see the beginning of a crisis for ten months bringing us thru to next years beginning of construction season .that's how bad building has become.

Lumber prices are pretty good almost pre-pandemic prices. Getting some #2 at $550 per thousand board feet. 1650 grade has been around $600. Still $100 higher than pre-pandemic but a good start.

That’s about the time I began to listen to you.

[@TheClubbinator]

Construction happening here in Edmond, OK everyday

[@gregjr3850]

I remember the lumber video and had started watching you earlier that year.

[@marilee324]

We delayed our build a year in part due to your coverage and saved big time...thnx Ninja

[@enascott5963]

Quick answer please ....so is it a good time to buy lumber for small project?

[@du24pont70]

I remember watching that lumber vid! That was the first vid of yours that I saw and kinda got me hooked from there.

[@kenbeer9621]

home depot in canadauses lumber as a loss leader , people buy the lumber , then pay up for everthing else

[@bensanders7392]

Often times a pickup hauling a whole trailer load of lumber back to the job site breaks down or has a flat tire, the police will have to stop and protect them on the side of the road while they change out their own spare tire. Stand guard so pirates dont harm them just to hijack the load of lumber....from the breakdown pickup truck guys.

[@douggzilla5620]

Here in Sedona there are DOZENS of Multi-Million dollar mansions going up.

[@geh3505]

Another indicator is watching ,Cat,Deere, Volvo & other construction equipment manufacturers production.

[@JesusChristLovesYouEternally]

Im in SW Florida we are setting late stage construction. A lot of it! So much that we are seeing them taking the new construction homes off the home sales market and putting them on the rental market. Neither are moving. The market is becoming saturated quickly. I have years of experience in the real estate market. My husband and I have been searching for a new home for the past 2 years but decided to also keep an eye on the rental market. We’re not willing to buy in this overinflated market with interest rates too high.

[@davecorsaro9015]

In Dallas area framing is still crazy. All builders have have not slowed down in fact new neighborhoods are going up as fast as before all this nonsense started even with higher interest rates.

[@Stash186]

I have seen the same

[@curtstacy779]

I think that is because of your influx of people. just guessing but that's what it looks like.

[@vickylongcrier2376]

All over the Metroplex!

[@richbatson1985]

The sad reality of Dallas is if they are permitted and financed ,they have to be built. Regardless of sale . Banks will do a foreclosure on a development. Does not work like it does on a consumer. They will make there money

[@davecorsaro9015]

Yes it is the sad reality. People from the high taxed states keep coming and ruining it for the rest of us. Wish the crazy governor of Cali would do something to stop the outflow of people and companies from leaving.

[@melissamccaw430]

The mills are stuffed with lumber but were still logging

[@anthonyromano8565]

I am seeing land being cleared for commercial buildings. Sand City. After Orchards and Office depot left the same area.

[@SirCarlosMusicBMI]

I know that Lumber has gone way up and down the last several years. 🎉But I’ve heard that TIMBER PRICES haven’t changed much during those times. 🎉 Do you happen to know if this is True? Thank you Mr. Ninja for what you do for us. God Bless,Carlos ✝️🙏❤️😊❗️

[@l.a.chancey]

The "producers" make all the middle market profits. The landowner makes very little.

[@returnMAGAKING]

Howdy Ninja- fyi- your videos aren’t updating on your channel. Could be me, but I have not changed anything. I have to hunt down your videos - they don’t pop up on your channel. God bless brother. Thank you for your great channel and faith, hope, and charity. Viva Cristo Rey! Dan

[@rodneyb7918]

There several huge housing complexes going up everywhere in Lee county NC

[@SuperBuzzbomb]

1 and 2, repeat. It hasn't slowed down yet in Houston and the surrounding metro areas. They are still clearing fields and building like no tomorrow and the homes are selling.

[@craigmooney3744]

Here in Australia I stocked up when USA costs went through the roof, it eventually got here too.

[@Chardonnay27]

Battery operated power tools will eventually be useless when batteries are no longer available. Pick up some essential tools with cords while they're cheap at yard sales...

[@joshandnissa]

The bottom has fallen out of manufactured housing. After having a year long waiting list and having to turn sales away now there will be plant shut downs and layoffs by fall.

[@jackreeck7150]

Seeing all phases of building in Atlanta area.
