Building materials cheap boost home builders prospects
The Lumberman's Review editor F. J. Caulkins says current lumber cement and brick prices create unusual opportunities for home builders to erect houses at low cost. Hemlock spruce and North Carolina pine dominate low priced suburban dwellings with hemlock at about 18 to 19 per thousand, though prices may rise back to former highs. Geod pine interior finish also cheaper while plain hard woods stay steadier.
