They are conservative men and their views are not rose-tinted with exaggeration. The following are their re. spective opinions concisely stated: George N. Hicks: “‘Tho tide has turned within two mouths past and there is 8 much greater demand for property as summer ap- proaches. ‘There is a large demand for homes, more than ever before within my remembrance as & realty dealer in this city. The people seem to prefer to buy rather than to build, When the World's fair is over I anticipate that rents generally, especially for residonces, will jump higher. In fact rents have an upward tendency now. There will undoubtedly be an influx of psople here from the World's fair, Ianticipate a largo demand for outside acreage within the next few weeks. It has already commenced. 41t is & fact, free from the tintof exag- geration, that the coundition of the real cstate market at this time, when plaved alongside a comparative period of last year, shows a greater activity insales and demand and even an increase in prices. Especially is this true in residential property. Thero is not muoh heavy speoulation witnessed in booms. But there is a steady growth—a feeling of general confidence in the future of Omana. Nine-tenths of the sales now and withiu the past ninety days have been for good residence property. I cau cite an in- stance to show that people are beginning to realize that Omaha real estate is a good in- vestmeut in preforence to investments in other cities. A gentleman from the east who bas been making a tour of the west as far as Tacoma looking for good opportuni- nes for realty investment, returned to Omaha and put bis money in Omaba prop- erty to tho exclusion of other localities. ‘Tht shows how Omaha's present prosperity s regarded by men who travel around and have opportunities for comparison. A man who backs his judgment with his money in an Omaha investment, after looking the fleld over. speaks volumes for Omaha.’ No Boom, Just an Increase. W. Ames: “The editorial in Tur Ber riduy struck the nail squarely on the d, when it said that ‘Lo assert that a ostate boom prevails in Omaha and South Omaha would be misleading. To say that the market is inactive would be equally incorrect. The demand for good property tho past month has been fair and the num- bor of sales has been increasing. This s tho logical result of oxisting financial conditions., There is no safer means of inyestiug savings than to put them into Omaha and South Omaha realty.’ “Now, witiiin ninoty days there has been a great increaso in demands for good resi- dence property. The business in real estato ciccles in Omaha within that period has boen botter than it bas in four years. I find that workingmen are buying homes more than ever before. The fact that wage carners are investing in Omaha realty is a protty good indication of the prosperity of th city. " “Thero has beon o good demand even in dull times. A sample of the rapidit of prowth in residence proverty is exempll- fled in tho manner in which West Farnam street has been thickly set- tlod with homes within recent = years and the fact that it is now one of the most desirable locations in that respect. It has baen built up within four years—the dullest of our realty periods. Thero is a large number of iuquiries comiug in lately from local investors asking for first mort- gago scouritics, They regard them as sta- ble socurity, which speaks well for confi- dence in the valuo of Omaha real estate. Valuos have not ased, but have in- creased. Tho future isa very bright one, Peoplo have come to the conclusion that Omaha is a commercisl Gibraltar of safery and a good place to invest.” Backing Thelr Confidence. George H. Payne, president of the Fidelty Trust company: “There is a large increase in demands for first mortgage loans. Inside property has jumped upward in value and there are many cash sales. The Fidelity Trust company has given a substantial demon- stration of its faith in Omaha's future and permanence of prosperity by investing $32,- :;00 in inside properiy during the last sixty ays.'" Thomas A. Creigh, president of the O. §. Davis company: ‘‘lhe times in eastern fluancial ciroles have boen very stringent and the entire country has felt the affects thereof, but Omaha has successfully com- pared with other cities in the safety of Huoaoces and permanenoce of prosperity, Io aecre: real estate Omaha enjoys supremaoy in maintaining values and activity of demand for good proporty, in the face of tho wave of depression that has swept over the country. We are in better shape than we have been for years in real estate circles. Thego isa domand for homes. Ronts are botter paid up, Ido not think rents will advance much, if any, be- causo they are pretty well up now. There eorge of Potter & George: “Ifind an demand for homes from men on sal- Sales ure active, mostly on residence y. lanticipate a revival in building ity, but most people are buying their homes direct. Omaha realty has not de. creased in value, but rather increased.” . Tukey: “Real estate in Omaha, suburban yroverty, is advancing in every day, It has held its during the past panicky period, generally regardo as & safe investment, Some suburban propert; that T got #0650 a lot for a fow years ago I sell for #1,000 and #1,200 now. That is a fair sample, PPeople are developing a geueral de- sire to own their homes, and are buying property for that rurpow. Business in the past three months has been particularly active, We haven't a wild boom, but a steady ‘got there' growth tnat iw counting. Payments are prompt. Many cash sales are made. ‘Times hard elsewhere, but Omaha's’ banks and business houses are solid and the city s the gateway of Nebraska commerce. People realize this and put their money in Omaha realty, which is a safo and profitable invest. ment.” J. H. Parrotte: ‘‘There are many new people coming to Omaha and an increased demand for houses. Many of these new in- habitants are people of means, who invest in Omaha realt, Sales are improving and values are maintained."
