Am I completely out of the loop or is this sarcasm? I thought the lumber costs were skyrocketing and housing prices were too. At least in the US, I thought this was the case.

[MattGaiser]

Not OP, but it is sarcasm. Lumber is at record prices.

Wow, history goes back to 1979. Roughly same 200-600 USD envelope until 2020.

Are those 2021 dollars?

The 1979 value of $200 would be $735 today.

Sheathing plywood and OSB are now basically as expensive as cabinet grade hardwood plywood. It's insane.

[rwcarlsen]

In many places cabinet grade hardwood plywood is cheaper! I could sheath my roof and house with 3/4" cabinet grade maple for the same price as "cheap" ugly OSB.

Sarcasm, the exact opposite is true.
