With lumber prices increasing (adding an additional 30% cost), an increase of 25% on tariffs on Chinese goods like metals, finished materials (like flooring and wall panels).Another pricing factor is lack of builder confidence.

Coincidently, I know of someone who wants to unload two SFH's in the area of Pennsauken/ Glouster City.

Being gutted and framed out already meant he was going to save a ton of lumber + demo costs.

The lumber yard stocks 3/4 windows, but the bedroom windows require egress and are 3/5.

Each person has their own ability, motivation, time, etc adding to the overall variability.Then of course their other non-labor inputs such as lumber, electrical, concrete etc and the people involved in supplying those.

A tired and busy landlord that just wanted to unload the property.

I doubt the TK provider will complete the right fix due to costs, but maybe you could reach an agreement to split the costs if they do the repair...or you buy lumber and they supply labor...raise the entire floor in the room to meet the existing thresholds...

When we come out of the foreclosure moratorium you're going to see the banks unload a lot of properties onto the market.

I know inventory for new construction 🚧 a tight right now, but with lumber prices coming down and the high appreciation the supply is going to come back up.

Starting to look over designs now, and since lumber is finally stabilizing I hope to find a contractor, and start this fall 2021.
