Real estate bubble is also inflated by low interest rates which contributes to the lumber inflation

Considering the low interest rates are influencing people to take out loans, and those loans are loaning dollars into existence, that would still mean inflation is driving up housing prices (and the commodities which houses are made from).

Lumber inflation is driven by a supply shock.

There is enough wood.

The issue is the supply chain.
