Inland Northwest Log Prices

In March 2009, the local log market is in a very precarious situation. There have been many sawmill shut-downs and active sawlog buyers have dwindled to just a few. Additionally, the mills that are purchasing logs are paying extremely low prices. As is common knowledge, the underlying cause for this bleak circumstance is a very distressed housing industry and a correspondingly dismal lumber market.

Log Prices

*** As of March 12, 2009, no competitive log purchasers were quoting prices for these species.

Note these figures represent prices paid by competitive domestic facilities in the Inland Northwest and are based on average-sized logs and standard log lengths (except poles) — usually 16’6” and 33’.
