Soaring lumber prices have caused the price of new single-family and multifamily homes to increase substantially. NAHB has resources available to share with your community to demonstrate how rising material costs are hurting home buyers, builders and the housing industry.

For the latest talking points about lumber prices, visit NAHB’s Monthly Update. If you are contacted by the media to discuss rising material costs, consult NAHB’s best practices for handling media inquiries or contact NAHB’s media relations team for assistance. A consumer article about this issue is available to customize and place in local newspapers, magazines or blogs.
