Not from what I've seen at the retail end. They're certainly not at their crazy peak prices from that one May, but they're still much higher than even a few years ago, and have not been decreasing commensurate with the futures. Especially if you start to consider a quality/$ measure; For example, I used to be able to buy lumber that was ready to use. Now I _have_ to give it time to air dry because it's too wet to work with immediately despite being 'kiln dried'. That's time and additional preparation I have to do, not to mention have the room to allow it to air dry. I can imagine that being a pain if you needed a 2x4 for some small project in a small apartment.
anecdotes are not data, which is what the parent poster supplied.
i'd imagine the averages are down across the country but that doesn't mean things are cheaper everywhere, esp. if you're in a high COL area and they know you can pay
