Real Estate Agents in a
Hurry to Put Up To
Let" Signs This
Year.

.uary Is 10 serve upon tenants notice re-
qresting an answer to the query "Do you
intend releasing for the coming year?''
Tenants are given until February Is,
while often, when renting is slow, an ex-
tension until March IS is given.
AT every Office / visited yesterday.
agents were busting They had no
sales on hand. but were head over heels
in the business of releasing, or booking
reflections OF property. 1t was busy day,
and an unusually lively one. and agents
took this fact as demonstration OF the
lively season In real estate that Is at
hand.
WHY so EARLY.
"If these notices were not sent out early
in the year, ssid dealer. yesterday.
''there are hundreds of tenants in this
city who would let matters rest until the
very last minute, and then rush In and
want to re-rent after having tried every
agent in the city for cheaper rents. The
demand is so great this year that we will
be a trifie more exacting with tenants
than in years past. No chickering's will
be allowed this year. as It is y case
of half dozen people after one desir-
able house Instead of q half dozen agents
trying to get one tenant to take house,
dozen or more people who entered real
estats office on the Hill Yesterday. They
wanted certain improvements made or
they would vacate the houses they occu-
pied. What they wanted would I'LL a
page of THE JERSEY CITY NEWS. What
they will get would probably occupy
about one-eighth of the soace.
RENTS TEND UPWARDS.
Notices have been served upon g ma
jority of tenants on the Hill that a slight
advance in rent is to be made. The deal
ers, as result had a lively time Of 1t, and
to the best of their abilities were en-
deavoring to explain the cause, and with
but few exceptions the agents resorted to
THE JERSEY CITY NEWS pointers, rapid
transit on Montgomery street, and its
probable extension over all the surface
road line, the new County
Road, the opening OF the
Pennsylvania Railroads new ferry TO
upper New YORK. ALI were pointed as
not only bringing to the city the capital
ist, but the resident as well. House
hunters did not see 1t in this Hight. but
the agents were not to be moved. 1t was
also a noticeable fact and one spoken of
by agents, that Notwithstanding the stiff
backbone maintained by the dealers, more
leases are being renewed than for the
past three seasons.
LOTS MAY GO UP, TOO.
The demand for houses not only on the
Hill, but in every part of the city is hav-
ing quieJ tendency to embrace the value
of unimproyed property, and there will
be lively speculation In the course OF a
mouth. Agents say that the care
ful investor knows thar property
in this city and its suburbs is intrinsically
worth more than 1t brings. and give this
as reason for the great number of out
side buyers who, are investing in time TO
catch the advance which is sure to come.
It is conceded by real estate men and
speculators that property in this city Is
much cheaper than its proximity to New
York warrants.
