From the Lowe's website, it says a 2"x4"x8' lumber stud costs the same, $5.48, at both the Dedham, Massachusetts and Gilford, New Hampshire stores. $5.48 at both stores yet the gdp for Massachusetts was up +3.7% while the gdp for New Hampshire was down -3.3% at the same time, in the third quarter of 2021.
Driving around Dedham Mass and Gilford NH it takes about two seconds to notice many differences between the two areas so what's the reason why Mass was up +3.7%, and N.H. was down -3.3% ?
