It’s been a busy day in the markets with much time spent trying to understand the implications of the newest round of tariffs. I’ll first share commodity pricing information, then dive into the other areas of building materials likely to be impacted (spoiler: most products)
Week over week our commodity composite average dropped 1%, however the trailing four weeks are up 1.6%. Here’s the break down by commodity product:
- Doug Fir 2×4 +8.2%
- DF 2×4 – 92-5/8” +0.8%
- DF 2×4 – 104-5/8” +1.5%
- DF 2×6 – 104-5/8” +1.4%
- Pres Treat 2×8 -3.0%
- Pres Treat 2×10 -3.3%
- Pres Treat 2×12 -3.3%
- Pres Treat 4×6 +2.1%
- CDX 3/8” -4.3%
- CDX 1/2″ -3.4%
- CDX 5/8” -4.8%
- OSB 15/32” -4.5%
- OSB 5/8” -3.9%
- OSB 7/16” 4×8 -4.5%
- OSB 7/16” 4×9 -0.8%
- OSB 7/16” 4×10 -8.7%
Our sample house increased about $450 each week for the last two weeks, largely impacted by DF 2×4 pricing, as well as general price increases on other building materials. Which is the perfect segue… I wanted to share some information we’ve compiled via our suppliers and other new sources in regards to prices affected by the newest tariffs.
As you may have heard, recent developments in international trade policy are likely to affect our industry significantly. The U.S. government has implemented new tariffs impacting a broad range of imported products, including many key building materials and hardware items.
Here’s What You Need to Know:
Tariffs Overview:
- Effective immediately, an additional 10% universal tariff applies to all imported goods.
- Specific “reciprocal” tariffs are also being imposed on goods from certain countries: 34% for products from China (on top of an existing 20%), 45% from Vietnam, and 26% from India, among others.
- Steel and aluminum imports have seen a separate 25% tariff imposed, affecting prices across various construction and hardware categories.
Market Conditions & Pricing: The National Association of Home Builders estimates these tariffs could add roughly $9,000 to the cost of constructing an average home. Although some building materials, notably lumber from Canada and drywall from Mexico, have been exempted from new tariffs, substantial price impacts on appliances, windows, doors, furniture, and imported metals are expected.
Furthermore, market uncertainty may also lead to fluctuations in mortgage rates and consumer confidence, potentially impacting broader economic conditions. The current level of tariffs has significantly increased economic uncertainty, raising the possibility of a recession if prolonged.
What This Means for You: Despite our efforts, some price increases will be inevitable. We anticipate price adjustments across many product categories in the coming months, aligning closely with market trends to maintain competitive pricing while protecting your margins. Keep in mind that not all of our products are imported, but most have at least components that are imported. This leads us to believe that most items in our stores will be impacted to varying degrees by these tariffs.
We’re committed to keeping you fully informed and supported through these developments. Expect clear and timely updates as the situation evolves. Thank you for your continued trust and partnership. Together, we’ll navigate these changes to ensure your projects continue smoothly and successfully.
