REAL ESTATE MARKET
| CONTROLLED BY CITY
Community Must Go Steadily
Ahead with Permanent
Development Work

A true real estate market in any city
is controlled entirely by the city. Whom
a city is experiencing an unusual growth
the real estate market is generally
healthy and active. If the city stops
in its march of development, the real
estate market becomes dull. All things
travel along natural lines in this res
ipect. international conditions affect
| the individual community. Internal con-
ditions in the city affect the real es-
tate market, Cor good or bad, according
to conditions.
| This rule enables the average individ-
ual to guage his operations on the same
plans of understanding with the big in
vestor. 1t is often said that big inter-
ests operate on the strength of inside
information. In reality, however, they
guage their investments in real estate
by their knowledge of the facts concern
ing the economic position of the city in
which they operate. If they obtain facts
which point to continued growth Of
the city, they will invest theinr money.
Real estate activities throughout the
United States in the past year have been
at almost record height, in comparison
to any previous years. 1t is doubtful
if there is single city today which is
enjoying an unwarranuea real estate ne.
tivity. This is because of the great
prosperity which the country has en-
joyed for two years, in which practical
ly every city has shared by reason Of
having its industries and general bust
ness stimulated People are turning
more to facts. Land regulators are
operating on the basis of facts; so, the
result is an active national real estate
market, a proper range of values, and
an unusually bright future.
1t must be remembered that IL in
dustry controls real estate values, it
naturally follows that the present year
will witness a continuation of the ae-
tive and healthy real estate market,
because industry is now, and will con-
tinue to be, stimulated to the greatest
point ever recorded in the history II
this country.
The shrewdest financiers in the conn
try are not allowing tine present condi-
sions 10 affect their operations, nor 10
alter their investments, as they know
that this country win only be bene-
fieially affected by the developments
from a business standpoint, aud after it
is all over. investments win have in
creased in value 10 the extent of return
ing tremendous profits. This country
has been at war as much in the paste
three months as it viii be in the next
six months, but big capital has been in
yesting in real estate on a surprising
scale since the first of the year. THIS
should be sufficient encouragement to
the modest investor.
