The real-estate market, as a shrewd observer iafely remarked to us, has for the past.year beeit a rich man’s market. Property like that of the Johnson estate, latély -disposed ‘of, has beeri sold at 60 to 70 per cent only of the prices prevailing three.to five years ago. The ordi- nary buyer, from timidity -and unbelief, will noteppreciate this fact, but prefers to wait and pay-30 to 50 per cent more than the rates now enerally ruling. The time to buy is when few buyers are in the field, but it takescourage and brajns to buy then, and few have these twin Tequitites for successul investment. For fanur years the only business property steadily. inyiired after has been ‘the best cemn- tral, improved retail -property, but now there aresonie indieations that business property, not central, but still very good, is to be again favored. .. © Two sales lately -consupmated and one offer made-ont on . Post street show that that good business street; but long stagnant as. o ‘sales, i8 no_Jonger to be neglected. - Valencia street (thé Teal Market street beyona the: junction of " Market and Valencia).was a few years ago in Hyely request. . Far five - yearspast there ‘has been no demand whatever for Valencia-street property; yetland on.that thoronghiare is one of the ‘very. best investments in the ¢ity at present:prices: That fact will, we feel sure, be en-before long. but only, as in'all such cases, er the purchases of s few shrewd buyers and better times have greatly advanced prie The chigf demand for fine residence property continnes to be out on Pacific Heights. Prices there are well maintained, There is no.demand whatever for factory or foundry sites. The circular’s -article closes with the femark that the most of the lumber busi- ness hus within two years been moved to South Beach, betwéen Third, Sixth, Bryant and thefar side of Channel street. - Rents thete are very much lower than they were on East, Stenart, Spear, Mission and How- ard streefs.” In spite of this lumber-yard - movement “to South -Beach ' prices there have mot been lower within twenty-five years. - Free wool has played bavoc with w00l warehousé -rents at Beach.
