Weekly Market Report

For Week Ending September 24, 2022

Lumber prices plunged to their lowest level in more than two years following the Federal Reserve’s 75-basis-point rate hike last week, as soaring mortgage interest rates and the slowdown in the US housing market have caused lumber demand to cool rapidly this year. The Wall Street Journal reports lumber futures are down about one-third from a year ago and have fallen more than 70% from this year’s peak in March.

IN THE TWIN CITIES REGION, FOR THE WEEK ENDING SEPTEMBER 24:

  • New Listings decreased 20.2% to 1,273
  • Pending Sales decreased 29.4% to 983
  • Inventory increased 0.4% to 9,039

  • Days on Market increased 22.7% to 27
