BUYERS OF DULUTH
REAL ESTATE EASY
TOFIND.


The real estate market in and about
Duluth continues to keep in most healthy
condition. With affairs such that it is next
to impossible 10 find we'll located modern
houses for rent it could hardly be ex-
pected to be otherwise. Real estate men
arc feeling better than for full four
wears, Property moves. Buyers and SELL
ers get together, and 1t does not make
much difference what kind Of property one
NAV have to put on the market it seems
an easy thing to find buyers provided only
that the property offered is cheap, or at
least regarded as cheap by the buyer Lake
side and Lester park property has changed
hands in several instances in the past fort
night, or ct least contracts for the eX-
change OF such property have been signed
and cash has changed hands. Garfield
avenue property, property in the west
end .and desirable property in West Du-
lut!, have also changed hands in numerous
instances Inside property too is in good
demand, especially anything that is offered
in Endion at anything like a bargain.

i; ADVANCING. acd this advance is no
small marg.E either. special instance
is that of al. i.--s. end dot that was pu:-
chased four .-n2 rs age at $1,000 which
during the pas: week sold for something
like $1.6OO. Ot..c" Instances are cfted Oy
real estate men. 4 feature of the present
condition is the almost universal demand
for improved p-1:~e::..y. Vacant lots are
ssleable, especially wAen we'll located and
reasonably offere1 i;r modest homes thar
are placed on the na:'i:et are taken with
little ado.
The movement in industrial properties,
OF properties that are to be used as sites
for industrial enterprises. and storage
houses for grain, that has characterized
the transactions this season as compared
with other years, is not yet fully over,
it is claimed. There is also fair demand
Cor more modest dock properties. Deals
are said to be pending now for dock
properties ranging in value from SIG, 900 to
s9ssS. .O00,. and with every prospect that they
will be consumma ted.
One of the most favorable indications
OF the favor that just now seems to oe
shown Duluth real estate, and at the same
time is an indication of the ease that seems
to exist in the money market, was the
planning during last week of the first o!s
per cent loan that has ever been put on
Michigan street property. The property
was formerly mortgaged on per cent
basis, and there seemed little difficulty in
getting the money at the lower rate.
In rents, an incident on West Superior
II: ~, ,,,I Cix-t1
West, or what is known IS the BoWary,
may be mentioned. The owner of a Ittic
building there has been receiving $l00 a
month rental. A few days ago he was Of
fered $3.50 for a new lease. but declined It,
The upward tendency of rents, While not
as conspicous in other paris of the city Is
still plain to all and a much higher basis
seems likely to rule by next spring.
