past two months they would have tended
to weaken the real estate market.
The success attending the many recent
sales has demonstrated beyond doubt
that business in the real estate line is in
creasing and prices are on the advance.
No sale of the past ninety days would
have been attended with such marked
success during the past four years.
Nothing succeeds like success, buyers
make buyers. 1t can, therefore, reason
ably be expected that sales will be increas-
ing in volume and within reasonable time
reach the old-time mark of the years that
preceded the financial depression.
Real estate agents report that number
OF buyers, who purchased within the last
ninety days, have been on the market for
the past two years. The inference is that
buyers are realizing that prices are certain
OF advancement, and that they must in
vest In property at once or pay more for 1t
in the future.
In every line of business there is a feel
ing. that the days of depression are over,
and this is certainly the sentiment In real
estate circles. While every one knows that
the prices of three or four years ago cannot
be obtained it is, nevertheless, true that
better figure can be secured to-day than at
any other time since June, 1888.
