Hardwood Timber Markets Change ...
TimberMark Tracks the Market Every Day.
Appalachian Hardwood markets change often and trend up and down. In addition to hardwood log and lumber market price trends, local production factors for logging, trucking and timber buyer demands will change frequently also.
Over the last 10 years, the hardwood market in West Virginia, and the United States have changed drastically. Gone are the old days of guaranteed sales from sealed bids. The hardwood industry’s buyer’s pool for standing timber has decreased and consolidated considerably. More often than not, in today’s market, timber sales will take longer, are often negotiated contracts and are dependent on the current availability of logging contractors to perform the harvesting and trucking. Timber sellers today, run more risk attempting to negotiate these types of timber sale contracts in this much more complicated and diversified hardwood market.
The good news is that hardwood markets are strong, stable and certain hardwood species are selling for premiums in today’s market. Our TimberMark – Timber Marketplace platform is for timber sellers and buyers to open up these new timber marketplace opportunities.
