Business Continues Good.
Mr.. William A. Hill of Moore &. Hill in
speaking of real estate conditions today re-
marked: Dull season? We have not seen
any dull seasons in real estate for several
years. Last summer our experience was
that business kept up during the entire
summer and this season this condition is
more pronounced than ever. OF course,
certain seasons of the year are better suit
ed than others for handling different classes
OF property. AS would naturally sup
pose during the summer months, when a
large number of the wealthy class are out
of the city, the principal business trans
acted is selling small property, and this Is
true.
In Washington a great many low-priced
properties are sold during the heated term
A government employee will frequently wait
until he takes his leave to look up prop
critics with the idea of buying a home Just
at this time our firm has under way several
transactions of large magnitude. and If
conSummated, Will stand well up in the list
of the years large sales.
Outlook for Renting.
1.-The renting business is surely phenom-
email for early in the season, and this
condition seems to be the same with a num-
Der of brokers 1 have lately talked to on the
subject. The outlook for renting both in
houses and apartments, is most encour-
aging-in fact, tenants are securing their
places of residence with remarkable ac-
tiyity, especially for such an early period
in the season..
