Syracuse, N.Y. Rising lumber prices have pushed up the cost of a single-family home by more than $20,000 in Central New York since the coronavirus pandemic began.
Ronald Milback, managing partner of Milback Customer Homes, said the exact same 1,703-square-foot house he built a year ago for $261,900 would cost $301,900 now a $40,000 increase because of the increased cost of lumber.
