\ SALES OF THIS WEEK
..Continued activity and fairly large
number Of satisfactory sales
The above was the substance of the re-
ply Of two leading real estate men when
asked regarding the real estate situation
rs developed during the past week and
the reply covers the case as fully as
column Of detail would G
y Sales that are satisfactory in the full
meaning Of the word are transactions that
both buyer and seller are pleased with,
and therefore the above index to bust
X ness when analysed means that there Is
no boomish fever in the realty transac-
lions now being made In Richmond. but
that supply and demand are meeting
on healthy and legitimate basis
There are people here who own more
4 city and suburban property than they
need. and they are every day meeting
( people who own none. but want ground,
upon which to build all kinds of homes
from tne humble cottage to the imposing
mansion, and the two classes are trad
ing in way that they perhaps never trad
ed before9 The seller is getting the worth
4 of his property and the home builder IS
not being squeezed into or excited up
to anything like the boomish fancy prices
4 that have been so disastrous to some
other towns In days gone by.
West End Building.
Considerable interest continues to be
manifested in Monument Avenue lots and
in building lots in all that part of town.
One encouraging and pleasing thing is
that buyers who are coming into the
~. =
b ing a decided disposition to make use
of[larger lots.5 This. Of course. will add
greatly to the beauty Of that already
+ beautiful section of the city. Three more
4 residences were started from the ground
up" on Monument Avenue last week and
they are being built enlarge, Eroomy lots.
Re Three lots were also sold on Allen Ave-
nue. near the Lee Circle last week to a
4 prominent gentleman who will break
II ground this week for a very handsome
residence.
Messrs. Green and Redd real estate
agents, made some interesting announce
Inents during the week. They tell us
\ that the building boom Is soon to be
& added to In the West End by the cree
ton Of at least 100000 worth of hand
some detached dwellings on ground they
have recently sold on Grace, between Al
glison and Addison Streets. Ten or fit
teen buildings will be erected. They
also announce that they are having built
in other parts Of the West End eighteen
other houses on various streets and ave-
nues.
q What Meaneth This?
Notwithstanding the building OF so many
residences, many of which are being rent
n ed, and so many former renters are
moving into or soon to go into their own
I homes and quit renting, fewer houses
hare been filed with the real estate
men for rental the coming fall than is
usual at this season. This, be 1t re-
membered. is the time for owners OF
rentable houses to file same with the
agents to find renters for them before
September. moving time. The real es-
tate men interviewed by Times-Dis-
patch man agree that never before in
years have there been SO few houses
filed for rent UP to this date as this
year. This, taken In connections with
the fact that the original army of rent
ers has been and is being rapidly de-
creased by doing their own building,
must mean that many new people are
coming into Richmond to live, move and
have their being here. "A new municipal
y census about now might show some Won
4 derful things.
