BANNER YEAR PREDICTED
OPTIMISTIC STATEMENT BY
LOCAL REALTY BROKER.
N. L. Sansbury Reports Many Sales
and an Increasing Demand
for Property.

Optimism in no uncertain terms Is re-
f1ected in a statement made yesterday
by y. l.. Sansbury, real estate broker,
concerning the tone of the local market.
Mr.. Sansbury declares that if the busi-
ness done by his Office recently may be
taken as q criterion, the ensuing twelve
months will roll themselves into banner
year in Washington real estate. Never
before has he known the business to con-
tinue so actively and steadily through
the summer months. when a large pro-
portion of the buying clientele is sup
posed to be absent from the city in quest
of pleasure and recreation. He notes
strong and healthy tone in the market
and an active demand for all classes of
property, extending from the small six
room houses and investments to preten-
tiouS homes and high-class business prop
erty. He observes a continually 1ncreaS-
Ing demand for detached semi-Suburban
homes. especially in the sections provided
with good transportation facilities.
