Here is another monthly update on framing lumber prices. Lumber prices declined further in September from the recent record highs, and are now down year-over-year.
This graph shows two measures of lumber prices: 1) Framing Lumber from Random Lengths through October 5, 2018 (via NAHB), and 2) CME framing futures.

Right now Random Lengths prices are down 12% from a year ago, and CME futures are also down 12% year-over-year.
There is a seasonal pattern for lumber prices. Prices frequently peak around May, and bottom around October or November – although there is quite a bit of seasonal variability.
