not worth the mortgages they carry.
How true this fact is is indicated in the
results or auction sales both voluntary
and in foreclosure.
All of these facts would seem to knock
the bottom out of the old statement that
New YORK city real estate IL the safest
investment to he had. but they do not
IL is still true in spite Of the admissions
made here that those who bought wisely
feel no regrets. The losses that are be-
ing taken now are the result of too
much enthusiasm when real estate was
on the upward trend few years ago
when fhbuious prices were paid for mid
die grade property When that sort Of
thing was being done IN real estate II
was being done also In the stock market
and the result has been the same In
both cases. The difference bctwe, n the
real estate investor and the investor In
any other security is that the real estate
Investor vino bought wisely has not been
dragged down with the more daring
buyer, while the history OF the financial
world Indicates that even the most
shrewd investor has had to take his
losses along with those who bought at
the top Of the wave.
In other words there is n valuation
in real estate below which prices do not
