The price of almost everything is on the way up.
While there’s been a lot of focus on real estate and lumber- the price of other goods, like chicken and chlorine, to name a couple- have spiked as well.
When businesses shut down last year- it did damage to the supply chain because those closures didn’t happen exclusively at the point of sale.
While there are certain things that may not see a price decrease in the next 6-12 months- like lumber because of the intense process to get wood from nature to a building site- other items that have less difficult manufacturing processes will.
Especially as workers come back to the workplace.
