It's not just lumber. I've been looking for pavers and all the ones that I like are out of stock.
I think this is going to be a trend for the next few years at least, esp in the Lakes region.
With all these properties being purchased comes renovation projects. I see contractors being busy for the next 4-5 years with prices going through the roof.
A lot of projects are stalling because of lack of materials.
With the workforce moving to remote work you will see more young families moving into the Lakes region.
How long this trend lasts is anyone's guess.
