Lumber Sales Being Restricted?
Here is a sign of the developing tangled economic web that Hurricane Katrina is weaving. Last week I posted an article about my concern over the potential for dramatic increases in the cost of new construction, here and across the nation. Yesterday I heard that some of the local (Wenatchee) box stores are restricting the amount of lumber an individual can buy. I haven't been to any of the stores to confirm this story, but certainly would not be surprised by this development. I wonder if this is just for the at-home-handyman or if restricted sales include builders.
In many ways our Wenatchee real estate market is unique and unaffected by other parts of the country... yet, in a situation like this, we are at the mercy of the law of supply and demand just like any other market area.
