Our SAN FRANCISCO'S RECORD OF REALTY SALES FOR 19 HE figures published in The Call last Sunday in connection with the weekly real estate review showed that eleven months of 1801 far surpassed the entire year of 1900 in the sales of realty in this city. Since then the complete figures for the full year have been received. From these it appears that the increase was $10,- 20,155 over 19M, and that the sales out- pumbered those of 1900 by 1002. The total sales for 1901 were $29,147,969. In 1900 the total was $18,527,814; in 1889 the total was $14,555,137; in 1898 the record made was $10,747,102. These summarief are made up by Thomas Magee & Sons in their Reai Estate Circular. Concerning the sales of 1901 the Circular says: And to this increase should really be added the price paid for the westerly half of the Biythe block, the negctiations for which took place in July, 1901, althougn the deed will not pass for several days yet. Nor is this all, either. Although our figures are for the whole of 1901, there were veally only nine selling months in it. During nearly a quarter of the year the labor strikes prevailed and nearly put & stop to transfers for that length of time. Buyers belleved that if the strikes were pro- ionged prices would weaken, and they held off , from purchasing for that reason. Many of them have not bought yet. A look backward over the last ten vears shows that 1890 was the banner year for heavy transactions. the sales for that year amounting to $36,545,887. The year 1898 was the poorest year for sales. The total value of the sales of that year was only $10,747, It is interesting, just now, 1o study the ups and downs of real estate in past years, because of the greater importance now atteched to San Francisco as a coming commercial and manufacturing center. The past year approsches 1890 in the monetary value of sales made, but it does not compare with 1890 in the number of transactions. In 1890 there were 6680 sales made, and in 1901 there were but 4261 sales. The reason why the number of sales was so much smaller for the past year was because there has been no cutside land speculations and no general pur- chasing except for use on the part of small buyers. The amount of money involved in the transactions of the past year was very large in proportion to the number of sales made, be. cause the t majority of sales were of v able business properties. , The Southern Pacific and Santa Fe Railroad companies were large buyers last year. The Blythe block, too, was the largest single sale ever made in San Fran- cigco. The most notable feature of 1901 was the absolute absence of speculation. Practically every purchase made in 1901 cither was paying or could by building imme- Gistely have been made to pay a fair income. Never in the history of the city have 50 many manufscturing firms bought their own business sites. In investment properties buyers have bought where business was established, even though, in many cases. the location appeared o be passe. top_prices co have been paid, buyers preferring to pay premiums for the best rather than attempt to anticipate where business might go. Real estate sales were very greatly increased last year by own- ers of stocke and bouds selling them and in- yesting the money in city business rty. In the seven years' dullness from 1801 to 1898 would not stocks othere gave holders of them severe cramps of disappointment and caused great numbers to take their money out of these securities and 80 back to their first but long despised love, city real estate. Forecasts the Market. Thomas Magee makes the following forecast for the year 1902: The coming year promises o be & good year in real estate. While business is now good, 1t really should be far better. The year 1901 closed on a steady, conservative market that bas been absolutely void of speculation. Buy- ers will only buy inside paying properties. For three years past the only business properties that have advanced have been in the retail and wholesale sections or_along the outer edge of the retail section. We now believe that all property will soon increase in every section of the city. It will not come as a surprise if the total sales of 1902 reach forty millions. With an ample rainfall these figures may be ex- ceeded. There has not been as interesting and instructive and more solid year in real estate, without any excitement, than the year 1901. There have been three periods in the history of the city in which the sales were much 1901, but these periods were characterized by reckless inflation and by buyers paying only 25 to 30 per cent cash, go- ing into debt in a wholesale and headiong fash- fon with the final results of terrible depres- sions, many foreclosures and long periods of fell fn prices. Large realty deals are still the order of the day. During the last week the block bounded by Bay, North Point, Powell and Mason streets has been sold for $140,000. This is the site of the wire works. Tha block was sold by the heirs of the late A. 8. I;hl:ldle and others. The block is 412:6x eet. The Barkers' Investment Company is about to complete the purchase of the Blythe vroperty, in the center of the city, by taking in the western portion, facing on Market street,' Grant avenue, O'Farrell and Geary streets. For this gorllon the sum to be paid is $1,205000. This makes the total the whole, including the Blythe properties acquired previously by the company, $2,255.000. This deal was ef- fected by Thomas Magee & Sons. The Nobman estate has sold the south- west corner of California and Fillmore streets for $42.500. The lot is 87:6 feet on Fillmore street and 78 feet on California street. Leon Carrau has sold to Walter A. Green the southeast corner of Geary and Buchanan streets for $40,000. The estate of Annie M. McCormick has sold to Lipman C. Coleman 137:6x25 feet on the north line of Turk street, 181:3 feet west from Larkin, for $9700. Deeds have been recorded completing the transfer to the Risdon Iron and Lo- comotive Works from the Pacific Rollin Mills of property at the Potrero, an ol trausaction, for $550,000; also’ transferring the old Pacific Stock Exchange property on Montgomery and Leidesdorff streets from George W.

Baldwin & Howell report that the de- mand for income paying properties I on the increase and the difficulty which investors find in securing what may be termed strictly first class business prop- erties is creating a2 demand for well lo- cated flats and apartments. During the last few weeks they have invested for clients nearly $100,000 in this class of prop- erty. A sale was recently effected by them of the three-story building, consist- ing of three flats, on the south side of Eddy street, west of Franklin, for $20,000. During the last week they have sold the lot, 62:6x100 feet, on the southwest corncr of Eddy and Scott streets, the improve- ments consisting of egsh: flats, renting for $200 per month, for $25,000. Another sale was consummated by them this week for $20,000 and another one for ,000 of the same class of property, particulars .of which will be ready for announcement |lea within a few days. The same firm has also sold the property on the east side of street, between Pacific and consisting of a lot 36:9x57:6 feet, with two-story building, the lower portion being used for stores and the up- per for lodgings, for account of Jean Lo- rang to August Dietrich, the glce bein; $8000.
