US timber pricing has been relatively stable through the pandemic. Compared to lumber prices, which have increase dramatically over the last year, timber prices have only increased in the single digits. However, timber prices are likely headed for a long-term trend due to new demand.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cWe believe timber and timberland as an investment are on long-term uptrends.\u00a0The fundamental drivers are the value of the trees at maturity and underlying land.\u00a0Both factors currently have upward pricing pressure,\u201d Scott Reaves, director of forest operations at Domain Timber Advisors said.\u00a0\u201cLumber pricing is benefitting from increased consumption for use in home remodeling and construction. Land is appreciating due to population increases and individuals\u2019 growing demand to own parcels outside cities. These trends are especially evident in the U.S. South as demonstrated in the attached map regarding population growth and lumber mill expansions.\u201d Reaves says that prices could be headed as high as $35-$40 per ton.<\/p>\n

This could be an additional drag on new development. After an already challenging year, additional increases in materials costs will only make new development more challenging and expensive. \u201cVolatile raw material pricing certainly makes bidding on and securing new contracts more difficult,\u201d says Reaves.\u00a0\u201cWe could also see lumber prices at this high level eventually having a mild chilling effect on consumer demand for new housing. However, given current sentiment and demographic trends, it may be a while before that occurs.\u201d<\/p>\n

There isn\u2019t a clear solution to curbing the rising costs of raw materials. Reaves says that increased competition is the primary way to drive the cost down. \u201cHealthy competition among all market participants is the best way to ensure adequate future lumber supplies and hedge against market conditions like the one created by current lumber price spikes,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n

One issue is the consolidation of sourced materials. Reaves notes that the 766 million acres of US forestlands, 58% is privately owned. \u201cThis represents a completely renewable resource of significant scale,\u201d he says.\u00a0\u201cWorking toward a healthy dynamic between the private landowners growing sawtimber trees, the mills processing it into lumber, and the end user consumer is key for a sustainable future.\u201d<\/p>\n

So far, timber prices have been tempered due to oversupply, but the demand side is catching up. The oversupply issues stemming from the sharp drop in housing demand during the 2008 Financial Crisis. \u201cDuring the past five years, lumber prices have increased more than 200%, while the price of the raw material\u2014sawtimber-sized trees\u2014paid to landowners has changed by -3%,\u201d says Reaves.\u00a0\u201cFor the next four to eight years, we believe continued higher demand will reduce the oversupply and bring markets back to a healthier supply\/demand balance, particularly in the U.S. South.\u201d<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
