What the Real Estate Men are Dc

What the Real Estate Men are Doing.
Great activity characterizss the real
estate market. A very considerable bust
ness was done during May, and the dealers
they say expect to do as much, if not
more, this month. As particular proni-
nence has been given to the transactions in
lots in the southern extension, some per-
sons have received the impression that the
movement was solely confined to that class
Of realty. Upon inquiry it is ascertained
that there is very great demand for resi-
dence property. Residences ranging in
prices from the modest home of 81, 900 to
the more pretentious one of twenty times
that amount are ought after and are being
sold. The main difficulty in this line IS
that the offerings are small and the demand
cannot be met.
Very many possible purchasers are wait
ing for the monthly sales at the court
house, which take place next Tuesday,
Some very desirable property will be sold
on that day. Among the most desirable
will be found the following:
The brick residence on Liberty and
Abercorn, one block from the new hotel.
This is an elegant location, a convenient
and comfortable dwelling, and a piece of
property which in five years will be worth
a great deal more money.
For person who owns q lot in that
vicinity. or for any of the builders or con-
tractors, the "Kollock House" will prove a
good investment. 1t is a well-known fact
that the material in this class of houses is
found to be very much better than what
can now be purchased, and it pays to use it
again.
Very easy terms are offered on a lot on
Gordon and Lincoln streets. This is a To-
cality that has always been considered
among the best in the city. Some of our
best citizens own fine residences in the i'm
mediate vicinity. This lot possesses the
very great advantages of having wide
streets on three sides, and would be an ad-
mlrable place for good class of two or
three story houses for renting
For small investment, the house on
East Boundary street, and those two on
the York street lot, will prove as good as
can be easily found. This class of houses
pays well, and it is seldom that thew are
found for sale in the eastern part of the
city. These would not be now offered but
for the fact that the owner has perma-
nently left the city.
One of the best vacant lots in the southern
section that can now be found is that on the
south side Of New Houston, near Dravton
street. 1t is a very large lot, has beautiful
frontage, and has all the advantages to be
realized from the close proximity of the
park extension.
There are seven houses on the two lots on
Sims and Purse streets that are always in
demand by tenants They are nice, com
Portable houses near the places of business

sequence is that there is never any trouble
about keeping them rented to prompt pay

estate, and are sure to be sought after by
those who know how to appreciate good in
