Uncertainty and some softening of log prices has crept into the region. Resiliently, specific sorts and certain mills continue to offer strong prices for logs. Overall, weakness in housing starts, underpinned by housing affordability issues, are having a chilling effect on building lumber consumption and lumber futures. The Random Lengths Framing Lumber Composite Price continues to hover in the mid $400’s, around $800 less than one year ago. Doug-fir/larch and grand fir/hemlock are in moderate demand while ponderosa pine and other whitewoods are becoming weak in the Inland log/lumber markets. Pulp log prices remain relatively strong carrying over the trend from last quarter.
