Log prices continue to span a wide range across the inland region. Against the odds, prices in the north Idaho panhandle and northeast Washington markets have generally remained steady or increased slightly this quarter. However, most central Idaho, eastern Oregon and Montana markets dropped lower. The Random Lengths Framing Lumber Composite Price has bounced around the low to mid $400s this quarter and high interest rates, extreme heat/weather in the U.S., unprecedented wildfires in Canada and overall market uncertainty seem to be the pertinent log and lumber market topics this quarter. Doug-fir/larch, grand fir/hemlock and western red cedar are in moderate demand. Pulp log prices and mill residuals are currently soft.
