How Lumber Prices Have Been Affected by the Pandemic Economy

Since 2019, we have seen the price of lumber rise rapidly. If you're in the market to buy or build a new home, this is something that you have noticed and heard about. However, the lumber pricing has recently seen a drop in prices as well.

While this sounds like great news, it is only a small drop. This is because while prices are down, they are still higher than normal, they're about 80% higher than pre-pandemic levels. This can create a problem for critical housing but also clients like ours who are building their dream home. 

Since 2020, construction of a single-family home has risen by 12%. It may not seem like a lot but if you are in the market to build a new home, this is significant!

When you factor in the rise in construction costs and the fact that the lumber supply is still low, you may think that it isn't a good time to build your dream home

But it is! 

Interest rates are still lower than we've ever seen, so it is a good time to lock in mortgage rates and your pricing with Lindal and the planning of a custom home isn't done overnight. 

You can start planning your dream home today!

Our New Reserve Program

From business owners to career professionals to homebuyers, 2020 has been a strange and tumultuous year. 


Even we were not immune to the effects of the pandemic. Homes had to go on hold, lumber prices rose, and new homes' planning went on hiatus; while things have gone back to as normal as possible (homes are being built, interest rates are lower, etc.), the future is still uncertain.


That is why we are so excited to introduce some exciting news! 


Lindal Homes and Fine Point Cedar Homes are offering a new Reserve Program for 2021.


So, what is the Reserve Program?


Our Reserve Program will allow you peace of mind in your home building journey, in that your Lindal home costs are locked in. 

There will be no surprises or fees from left field.


How Does it Work?


A minimum down payment guarantees today's pricing for delivery until September 30th, 2021! 


What's more, we are currently the only supplier of homes that is doing this!


What Does That Look Like?


The way we do it is to break the Purchase and Sales Agreement (PSA) deposit into two equal deposits spread out over the design and drafting process. You won't need to come up with the money all at once! And with the lower interest rates, there has never been a better time to build a home.


1) 1st Half of the full PSA deposit now, 2nd half PSA Deposit due at sign-off of preliminary plans.

2) This will allow price protection for up to one year after PSA. The price is good for 30-60 days after the Design Service Agreement (DSA) or regular price date.

3) The closing date is November 30th, 2020.


There is also an early bird bonus! You will receive a FREE large door upgrade if your PSA is received before October 31st!


If you are looking for a quality home and building experience with guaranteed pricing, and lifetime warranties that are not found anywhere in the industry, then you have come to the right place. Doug and Barb provide all that and red carpet service!


Check out our customer reviews and photo of the house built by Doug and Barb. This will help you envision what your dream home could look like and hear from others what it was like to build with them and work with them.


Doug and Barb would love to chat once you have secured your lot. Once that is done, they can walk and tour the site with you and help you envision what can be built on your plot!


Don't miss out on the fantastic chance to lock in the price of your home. We may not know what the future will hold, but you will always need a comfortable and cozy space for you and your family!
