I guess Ben Shapiro buying that plank from Home Depot was just an investment.

On top of the housing boom, everyone was stuck at home, so all those renos and projects that were put off for months/years finally got done with the newfound free time.

I don't remember the 2x4s I used to reframe the wall in my shower being particularly expensive back in September but I also don't know what 2x4s usually cost lol

My wife had to scramble to lock in some wood fencing subcontracts before the new month hit and they could recalculate their bids.

This is me when I go to Lowes/Home Depot. Completely ignorant of what shit is supposed to cost and just buy it anyways.

Fools investing in doge should have been investing in wood.

It's really fucking up the housing market. No one is building. Everyone is still buying. Housing prices are inflating and still selling quicker than ever.

I was really liking this house and was debating an offer, it lasted a week.

wood for bathroom remodel was costing more than double what it should, boat being stuck in that canal also really made it hard to find ANY insulation for a little bit

Jesus I need to get out of Austin. a 530k listing here = about 1500-1600 sqft, on the market for about 2-3 days before it's under contract, 25+ offers with stupid crap like a full appraisal waiver and no option period, and it will sell for 650+

I know those realtor/zillow est are not always on point, but the last two months my house's est value went up 20k. Two homes in our area have sold (Without an open house) a day after being listed. Shit is fucking crazy.

I get a ton of dumb text messages, phone calls, and mail about wanting to buy my property here in VA or CO. It's at least half a dozen or so each week.

Bought my house for 753k 2.5 years ago, Redfin estimates it is worth 1.02M now

Yeah my house is worth a million dollars also

It sounds nuts but doesn't really mean shit unless you plan on moving completely out of the area altogether.

[Boyiee]

We bought a house in September, it's worth over 50k more already just because of material prices and market inflation. That's not including all the work we did to it.

[archibaldcrane]

Yeah my house is worth a million dollars also

sadly my other house is estimated 40k short so I can't flex 2 million dollar houses yet

Landlords everywhere are grinning.
