=
past week has not been marked with any
startling features, at the same time there
has been an encouraging absence of the
dullness that dealers have become accus-
toned TO during the summer months
This does not mean that business is
rushing or that prices are climbing to
dizzy attitudes. But the desire TO pur-
chase City property seems to grow in pro-
portion to the expansion of municipal
limits.
There would be much more trade in
progress if owners were not so stiff in
asking prices. Many real-estate agents
concede that the figures demanded for
certain lands are ahead of the times,
though it hardly requires the gift of pre-
science to realize that San Francisco
realty will in due season bring the full
value that owners now place on it.
Much good has been accomplished for
years past in this City by the erection of
one and two story dwellings, for sale at
mo derate figures. By the aid of building
associatio rs people who formerly rented
houses were ble to buy homes. During
the last two years very many building en-
terpr ses have been started. but Tor the
past twelve months it has been difficult
cha es for their places. This condition OF
things has not been profitable to builders, and
shading OF prices is now going on in some
instances, with view 10 attract prompt
custom.
OF course, If the supply of any commod ty
be greater than the current wants, concessions
on former asking prices are almost necessary
to keep trade in motion. Houses are mer-
chandtse like everything else in certain
sense. A building does not improve by being
tenantless, and a lowering OF former asking
prices may really be a gnin in 10
