CASH BUYERS AN
ENCOURAGING SIGN
Future Shows Every Evidence of
Prosperity, Says Albert
B. AShforth.
By ALBERT B. ASHFORTH.

The real estate fraternity IS 70 be
congratulated on the encouraging out
look.
After years OF depression the future
shows every sign Of prosperity. Optim-
ism in the minds of broker and oper-
ator has taken the place OF pessimism
With the slowing down OF the enor-
nous transactions on the New York
Stock Exchange, where unquestioned
fortunes have been made during the
last wear. business has shown = steady
improvement.
Il Is proven fact that real estate Is
the last commodity 70 feel the impulse
Of general prosperity, and the year 1918
will not be the exception to prove the
rule.
For the first time in many years the
broker can encourage his clients 70 in
vest in the property he may have for
sale with feeling Of confidence in his
goods Cash buyers are beginning 70
show themselves where for many
months only traders could be found.
The easier loan market will help the
general real estate situation, already
greatly encouraged by general business
activities, and by the spring OF 1918 an
old-fashioned real estate market may
be hoped for.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1916-01-02

which they hold are probably showing
many times the percentage OF dcprecla-
ton that their real estate mortgage in
vestments are. they would spend less
time trying TO plan some chimerical
scheme for alternating what is not any
thing like as serious a situation as
they believe il 20 be.
There are many intelligent and ex-
perienced people who look forward 10
seeing Manhattan Island entirely i'm
proved with business buildings and
apartment houses. Private residences
will in the future more and more be
limited to outlying districts, and on
this class of real estate an amortiza-
ton plan is beyond peradventur the
only proper and reasonable method TO
adopt. With business buildings and
apartment houses. however, doubt
very much if any feasible plan of amor.
tization Of mutual benefit TO lender and
borrower can be evolved, and IN any
event do not think the favorable rate
Of interest, plus the amortization
charge, should exceed the percentage
Of net income the property produces.
An underlying first mortgage securing
the same return that the equity holder
secures is about all that fairly can be
asked with It's security position.

Expert Looks to a Gradual

Rise in Values.

bound to continue 20 attract attention
Of The home seeker and investor.
This borough is most benehted oy
present subway construction and mas
engaged the attention Of Manhattan
builders. who are taking advantage OF
ground values much more reasonable
than those 70 which they have been
accustomed. -.
From January 10 December To-
1915. 5.1e2 permits for new buildings
we're issued In this borough, al an
estimated cost OF s42370,64O. inns

rear apartments, of which brooklyn AZ
first was rather uncertain, have proYeo,

The surplus Of money IN the marHet
enables builders ito secure hpera'
loans. Taxes are little higher, put
we are getting many improvements o.
a permanent nature, and increasing
values along lines of transit MAKE TINS
q very small item. OF course, IN the
elder sections. where buildings are not
modern and transit has not improved
the increased tax rate will be felt IN d
small degree. -,
II we are successful In getting legls-
lation favorable TO the changing OF the
three story and basement dwelling INTO

which will permit Of such alterations

To the expert mind tho indications
Of a rising market are unmistakable
and at this writing Is now evident In
certain sections. / do not wish 70 be
understood as prophesying an imme-
date and extensive rise in realty
values but a gradual, safe, sound and
sane movement ia certainly under way.
When you take into consideration the
fact that during tn. year 1913 1876
permits were issued AZ an estimated
cost Of s30,7l9.000, and in 1914 1888
permits at a cost Of s37 1881 900 my con
