Few large transfers of real estate have been recorded since the beginning of the recent heavy rains, but dealers in all parts of Ozkland report a brisk | business in small residence properties, the prévailing prices ranging from $2500 to $4000. Local real estate men find no fault with the present condi- tion of the market, all agreeing that it is far better than they expected. Al- most every dealer looked for a dull seasan during the Presidential cam- paign, and they have been agreeably sutprised at the continued activity of the market. 2 Two important building contracts | were filed during last week, one for a $10,000 annex to Fabiola Hospital, and the other for $20,600 of construction work op the Hearst Memorial Mining building at the University of (ali- fornia. John Baader of Berkeley also | filed a contract for four cottages on orth Harmon street. The cost of these dwellings is to be $1000 each. The record of the summer should be gratifying to every one interested in the praogress of Oakland and Alameda County, for 1571 new residences, flats and cottaces have been constructed in Oakland alone, and one real estate firm.
