Real Estate Market Takes Lead In Return to Peace Time

the possibility of making profits on the
advance. The prevailing optimism is
reflected in the attitude of MANY own
ers who, having held properties at prac
tlcaliy no gains during the bad times.
were willing to let 90 on almost anv
pasis-until rental conditions changed.
Now most of them are satisfied with
their Investments; their prices have
hardened, and, instead Of seeking buy
ers to whom to sacrifice their holdings.
they have adopted the expectant atti-
tude CT those waiting to make entire
~ satisfactory deals.
Another most favorable sjpn of het-
terment is seen in the steadily de-
creasing volume of foreclosure actions
against mortgage borrowers. There
are those who credit this condition to
the charity or sagaeity-of the mort
gage holders, but a more reasonable
view inciines to the belief that I'M
proved rental conditions have 50 forth
hcd owners that there are few weak
ones left. True. the foreclosure mar
ket wlped out lrnumerable equities in
the last few years, but the process can
be compared to The closing out OF weak
margin spectators in the stock mar
ket, and while it left real estate with
values somewhat impaired it also put
real property in strong hands and in
position from which it can rally
quickly.
