the immediate outlook for business
Thomas Magee & Sons say in their
Real Estate Circular:
The sales In various sections have
been up to the high average of recent
months, with the exception Of those for
the 10o-vara section. where the figures
are somewhat lower than they have
been for some time. This month Will
long be remembered as the date Of the
purchase by a local syndicate OF the
Lick House and many other properties
from Mrs. Oelrichs for 81. 900. 900. This
IS the largest single real estate sale
ever consummsted in San Francisco.
Belief IN the present and confidence Tor
the future OF San Francisco has been
shown by these buyers IN marked de-
gree.
The usual summer duilness in real
estate VIII be noticeable for the vaca-
ton months. aocentuated possibly by
the fact that this year we will have the
Presidential election, but after election
we look for a reaction and q return to
normal conditions. Building operations
continue on the high level Of the past
few months. San Francisco was rated
last month as sixth IN the comparative
table OF the large cities OF the Union
in the matter OF the increase in build
ing operations"
