Prices of Vacant Lots Higher.


One prosperous real estate dealer
had the following to say in regard to
the scarcity of desirable vacant lots in
the city and the consequent rise in
property values: vacant lots are
bringing higher prices than a month
ago. I can prove this in a dozen in
stances between the business portion of
Topeka and Washburn college. The
advance in price has come about on
account of the fact that last spring
when people started to think about
building they found that good inside
lots were very scarce, and they picked
up nearly everything that was avail
able at that time.
ga few owners who would not take
last springs advance of rs per cent
are standing for another rs per cent
edvance and the buyers seem to be
willing to pay it. 1t is a fact that
while vacant lots are going up in price
improved property is advancing at a
more rapid rate.
