@Brielle Ford I would say it depends on how fast the sellers want to unload the house or what condition the house is in.

Further, this increase is coming on top of the current 20% tariffs on softwood lumber imports from Canada.

And my caution turned out to be fortuitous because the bank was really trying to unload non-performing assets.

Selling usually means it's a problem property and they are trying to unload a headache.

Anyone looking to sell quick or just looking to unload a property at a deal?

I know the cost of lumber has gone up, so make sure you're talking to someone who's doing development now.

Lumber Liquidators and Costco.

Would be a killer time to unload any problematic properties, vacant rentals, or list projects that will be finished within forty-five days. 

Maybe it's better to unload it now, even if you take a loss, and buy something else instead of having your capital tied up for so long. 

timber in some areas can be quite valuable but that is generally larger softwoods that yo can make dimensional lumber out of .. and there is a lot of it in one tree and the trees are stacked in there every few feet.I have taken 500k in timber off one 10 acre tract in Oregon .. but that was an awesome stand 2 export grade 40s beautiful cylinders and a domestic top.. and there were no knots or limbs for the first two logs..
