The last 12 months?
Yeah but CLS has been fairly stable up until recently, in fact I've gotten some of the best prices I've had for the last few years in the last year alone.
Same here, went to order some for a small outdoor project and thought better of it.
True, but the new prices cannot be sustainable for too long, as many delaying builds, will cause over stocks, so a surplus of dead stock sitting around getting warped, damp and deteriorating, which no one wants. As was said by other reply, its capitalism in reverse! Saturated market need to clear overstocks, price forced down, purchasing begins again.Agree prices have gone up but to all those putting off jobs because of the price increase, how long do you wait before buying your wood. Once prices go up they take ages to stabilise or if lucky go down to previous levels. There is more chance of the price going higher rather than lower . Buying now at today's prices may be better than waiting for a price drop .

Very unlikely to happen as prices only go up in 90% of cases
Guys mentioning waiting for timber prices to drop in price but 90% of the time they never do.
I don't see that happening any time soon. It'll probably take most places 6 months after lockdown ends to fill orders and fully restock... and eventually people who are waiting for prices to come down are going to have to buy so there will be that additional pent up demand as soon as prices fall even a little.
