It’s costing more about $30,000 more on average to build a house these days.
Chris Guerette, the CEO of the Saskatoon & Region Home Builders’ Association (SRHBA), said the Canadian Home Builders Association predicted that with lumber price increases alone folks will spend around $30,000 more on average per home.
Guerette joined Brent Loucks on Monday morning to discuss the rise in material prices.
“It’s a combination of two things. It’s the pandemic, and I don’t think anybody would have predicted a year ago there would be such a high demand. Especially with lumber, we’re seeing that the renovation market had an impact as well,” she said.
Record-high lumber prices add as much as $30K to the cost of building a house
COVID-19 has wreaked havoc on just about every industry sticking a wrench into the normal forces of supply and demand and lumber is a prime example. A shortage is having a cascading impact on lumber yards, contractors and home builders.
