The current price of common western spruce and fir two-by-four is US$1,120 per 1,000 cubic board feet. That is almost triple the price of lumber pre-COVID-19 pandemic.

“The lumber is a component of it,” Kovach said. “Typically the lumber package includes the roofing, the flooring, sheathing, everything. It usually represents four per cent for the sale of the house.
