REAL ESTATE is ACTIVE.
MARKET SHOWED CONTINUED I'M
PROVEMENT LAST WEEK.
Some Large Deals Which Are Under
Way-PIans Being Prepared for
Many Residences in Vari-
Gus Parts of the City.

There is a good deal of stir in the local
real estate market. While the aggregate
of sales for the past week was not large,
there was more inquiry for business and
residence property than during any week
of the present year. Architects are busy
preparing plans for many residences that
will cost from s., ,000 to $1,000 the average
deals pending that will aggregate S1So0oO.
As they are not closed. the real estate
agents handling them refuse to give par
ticularS, fearing that they might lose their
commissions through being cut out by
other agents. Ono of these deals Is for
switch property in Armourdale- The con-
hitch about the title, which, it is expected.
will be done away with in few days. The
amount involved is $4,000, Another deal is
d swap of city houses and lots for business
property, and represents $4,000 on both
sides. Another deal that is also pending,
and is about to be closed, represents S51,'Do.
One of the leading real estate men of ths
city said yesterday: The real estate situ-
alton in Kansas City has not been as nope
full as now at any time during the past
seven or eight years. There is almost no
end TO the inquiry for residence property,
and as soon spring opens up and the
weather gets settled, / look to see lirelier
times in both inside and outside property
than We have known since the boom. The
best part of IL is that there is no boom.
We are now doing business upon sub
stantial basis, and the would-be purcnas-
erS are wanting city and suburban realty
for one OF TWO purposes-to tuild residences
or business or manufacturing plants there
on. Eastern people are more anxious to
get Kansas City loans t.Ian for years Peo-
pie who can give good Kansas City real
estate security can borrow money as
cheap as in New York or Boston, or other
Eastern cities. and cheaper than in Chi
cago. The fate in Chicago Is o. 81. and
per cent, and any amount of money can
be obtained on real estate security in Kan
saS City at per cent
