Developers 1119 Seventeenth Street 5&;‘#"&" ; INCREASES SALES Home Ownership Stimulated by Fear of Increase in . Rent Prices. CHICAGO, May 27.—Inflation and | taik of inflation will make 1933 out- standing in its contribution to the volume of owner-occupied homes in the country, according to the United States Building and Loan League. The Home Building and Home Owning Committee of the league suggests that, as yet, homes are at new low prices, but the monetary developments of the last week have served notice on the renting popu- | lation that the days of waiting for home-ownership to become even less expensive are at an end. “Some of the wiser renting families | stepped into the market before inflation became a reality, thus avoiding moves on the part of the seller to take ad- vantage of the rising prices in the off- ing,” says the committee. “One of our large building and loan associations al- ready reports that April has been the biggest month in its history from the point of view of loens, sales of proper- ties and everything combined. Others Teport an increase of popular interest in home properties which held little interest this time last year. “It is admitted that rents may rise more slowly than other prices under the new set-up, but the family now renting may be well assured that the up-trend is on the way. Consequently, they will move into the home-buying market early in the inflation period to assure themselves of a good home before residence prices go up, and therefore | to be the envy of their renting neigh- bors when the latters’ landlords be- gin to raise the bills. The “increased flow of money for financing homes, be- cause of operations of the home loan banks, is making possible home pur- chases which would have been dismissed on the ‘have no money' grounds two | months ago. | “The President’s mortgage proposal to | create local home financing agencies in | communities lacking such facilities to- | day, will, if enacted, bring greater in- terest in home purchase. The league | committee, along with its statement. gave an anlysis of the low home prices which it says are here today, but are sure to be gone tomorrow. “The kind of house which would have cost $5,000 to build in %926 can be had for $4,000 or $4,100 today. It must be remembered that about 62.7 per cent of the cost of a home is in ma- terials. The cost of building materials on the average was reported at the end of the third week in March to be hover- | ing around 71.3 per cent of such cost in 1926, thus $900- worth of home cost has been knocked off in this uncertain pe- riod. The rush to home buying may be definitely predicted, because the pub- lic knows that a rise in prices will bring that $900 or a portion of it back | onto the cost, without increasing their | income to a similar extent, right away.” Self-Cleaning Rake. A self-cleaning rake has been devised for the home gardener. It has a spring-equipped, hinged head which folds flat to the ground when the rake is pushed forward. New Enamel Developed. A fast-drying pyroxylin enamel has been developed for use as a one-coat | finish on bare metal.
