CONSTRUCTION OF CITY
HOMES INSURES ADVANCE
Array of Buildings Being Erected Makes Certain
Settlement of Permanent Population Lands
That Have Advantage of Being Close to Park

The present lee ding feature connected
with the realty Of San Francisco is
plainly the home building that is in
progress. The increase in the value OF
business properties is an old theme
Income properties are solid. but the
owners do not care to sell them. The
general market conditions have stead
ly tended TO give confidence to those
that wish TO have homes and who seek
mainly TO so place their money that in
the long run they will come out more
than even by the appreciation in land
value when the improvements may be-
come somewhat out OF date.
No part OF the city where front foot
prices are low enough TO permit the
careful buyer TO secure a home site
fails 10 improve. The large unimproved
areas in sections near Golden Gate
Park, north and south Of the great
pleasure ground, now on the market
make q conspicuous showing in the
matter OF new work that is under way.
Richmond and the Sunset district con-
tinue 10 improve quite rapidly.
Those that have lots in the sections
mentioned have recently been selling
them at prices that net a handsome
profit above the original cost. The
buildings in the newer portions Of the
city are Of a good class generally
speaking. While there have been very
large deals in San Francisco realty dur
ing the last week. there has been good
inquiry for home sites at reasonable
prices. When the weather is again set
tied the building Of homes will proceed
more rapidly than has been adyan-
tageous within the last fortnight.
There Is something of q stir among
the ffty-yara holdings. The Spring
Valley Water Company has authorized
Baldwin & Howell 10 offer at private
sale several parcels OF their holdings,
some Of which are located in a neigh
borhood that has commanded consid-
cradle attention for some time past
owing 70 the unsurpassed marine view
70 be had from the property. Among
the properties TO be placed on the mar
ket are a fifty-vara lot at the northeast
coner Of Larkin and Lombard streets
