Construction costs are currently skyrocketing

yes, but learning from the gas stations and refineries means learning to make a profit. :D

Crazy reaction on the wood market to the FED decision. Keep it going like this :)

WTF... minus 20%...
Nothing was actually said now that wasn’t already expected?

... maybe also a mistake. There has also been no update since 14.3.

With futures contracts on commodities, it's a tricky matter. When the front month is rolled over or speculation leads to a distortion, this can happen quickly. See WTI oil in 2020. In general, without Russia, we probably won't see prices like in 2020 for wood for a long time, maybe never again. In 2020, I bought S10 roofing battens 60x40mm for €0.56 per linear meter. Currently, they are still around €2 per linear meter. The same applies to steel, etc. The energy shock will lead to persistently high prices. Currently, it is almost impossible for private individuals to get reinforcing steel. At least not here in Lower Saxony.

At the moment, there is practically no reinforcing steel available for private individuals anymore.

Our carpenter already said last week that Siberian larch will one day be a dating aid for renovations and houses. :D

Whether the cabin, which cost 400k two years ago - and now costs 650k, is also worth 650k is another matter. High interest rates (if they come) logically lead to falling property prices. On the other hand, there is a huge flight into tangible assets. It remains exciting in any case.
