Framing Lumber Prices

Spikes in softwood lumber prices earlier in 2020 caused the price of an average new single-family home to increase by $16,148. Lumber prices began drifting downward in the late fall, but appear to be on the rise yet again, likely due to reduced production heading into the typically slower building season of winter.

The prices listed below provide an overview of the behaviors within the U.S. framing lumber pricing market. The information is sourced each week using the Random Lengths Framing Lumber Composite, which is comprised using prices from the highest volume-producing regions of the U.S. and Canada.
