YEARS REALTY SALES
MAY MAKE NEW RECORD
While Total Transactions for Preceding Twelve
Months Exceeded $47, 600, ,O00 the Outlook Is
Good for Piling Up Even Greater Aggregate

Great interest is manifested by the
realty brokers in the total record for
transactions in real estate that San
Francisco will make for the year 1903.
The Buyer and Seller, which has just
issued its annual review, estimates the
realty business Of the year at $47,500,
600, approximately. This is an increase
Of about 100000 above the record of
1902. A comparative table of sales by
years is published by the Buyer and
Seller and from it the following deduc-
tions are drawn:
These comparative figures of the
growth of the real estate market dur
ing the last six years are eloquent in
their exact conciseness. They show
that the amount of the annual trans
actions has increased from 1898 to 1908
the sum of S36,750. 600. This increase is
greater than the annual amount Of
real estate transactions of the past,
with the exceptions of this and last
years. even exceeding those Of the for
mer phenomenal year of 1890, which
was S36. .545 OOO."
