Weyerhaeuser CEO Devin Stockfish\u00a0recently told TIME\u00a0that home repair and remodeling projects will continue to keep lumber prices elevated.<\/p>\n<p>Though the\u00a0red-hot housing market\u00a0has largely been credited with driving lumber prices,\u00a0a shortage of nearly 4 million US homes\u00a0has had a\u00a0ripple effect on the home-improvement market,\u00a0as more people look to\u00a0update their homes without the option of buying a new one.<\/p>\n<p>\"Repair\/remodel is actually also a very big driver, from do-it-yourself folks buying wood at Home Depot to all these people that have old houses,\" Stockfish told Time. 'They want a new office, they want a new kitchen.\"<\/p>\n<p>The CEO said the pandemic underscored the importance of home life, driving many people to renovate their work-from-home space.<\/p>\n<p>At the same time, many aging baby boomers are choosing to remodel their homes instead of moving into retirement homes. Earlier this year,\u00a0a Merrill Lynch and Age Wave retirement study\u00a0found that many people between the ages of 50 and 60 are bucking the retirement trend of downsizing or moving into a retirement home in favor of remodeling or purchasing a larger house.<\/p>\n<p>\"There just became a whole new appreciation for the value of a home,\" Stockfish said.<\/p>\n<p>The CEO, whose company is responsible for over 12 million acres of timberland in the US as well as about 14 million in Canada, said the\u00a0US labor shortage\u00a0is also an ongoing concern for the industry.<\/p>\n<p>\"That's something we'll be keeping a pretty close eye on,\" Stockfish said. \"We haven't had it get to the point where it's really impacting our production, but one of the things that's a little bit of a leading indicator that we're watching closely is when we advertise for roles, the applicant pool has been down quite a bit versus what it has been historically.\"<\/p>\n<p>The labor shortage hit the trucking industry hard this year, as the pandemic triggered a surge in online shopping. The shortage has helped exacerbate massive shipping delays as well as push transportation costs to new highs, as shipping containers wait outside key US ports for weeks to unload.<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Weyerhaeuser CEO Devin Stockfish said home-improvement projects are a key driver of lumber prices.
