Most great speculative movements,
whether in real estate, stock or com
mcdities, end in crash. When the
bubble bursts real estate and stocks
have passed from strong hands to
weak. After the smoke has cleared
the innocent public is minus untold
millions Of dollars plus much sad ex-
perience.
Nv attention was drawn to state
H,eny that within six months most Of
the Properties which have been sold
recently would belong to the mortga-
gees. Let US analyze the present boom,
or more correctly speaking, the great
activity in improved property to see
whether il is founded on sand or rock.
We ali know that during the last
four years the city stopped Building,
but did not stop growing How many
90 per cent OF the buildings were sold
during the last year for less than their
original cost and in q great many in
stances for so per cent of their re-
placement value: Take for example
the snle Of dozen apartment houses
on Park Avenue and the Immediate vi
entity and in almost every case the
owners sold them at a aoss. These
ZANE buildings in which there was not
single vacancy could be dupli-
Gated for from rs to so per cent more
thar their selling prices. The sellers
we're either estates or wealthy indi-
riduals who could afford to take a loss
IN order TO cut down their income tax.
Examples of Low Prices
For example. twelve story Park
Avenue apartment house cost $780,
600. The reproduction value would be
about $1,000, 900. 1t was sold three

The enormous liquidation of IN
proved and unimprovcd real estate at
public auction that has taken place
this year has never before been
cqualed in the history Of the realty
market of New York During the last
year the results obtained at auction in
the Real Estate Salesroom and at pri-
waite treaty have borne out the predic-
ton made by me soon after the s gn-
ing of the armist;cc on November II,
1918.
With the signing of the armistice
the entire business world got busy and
cleared decks for action" The re
construction period was at hand; there
was big work to be done by every good
American citizen. and to be done i'm
med lately
The first to respond to the good eff
feet of the armistice was the real cs~
tate market. and early in January.
1919, there was inaugurated the cnor-
nous buying movement which has since
natcrialized.

1919, Greatest Year in History of Real Estate
Auction Market To Be Eclipsed by 1920

The winter of 1918 and spring of
1919 passed without any very marked
activity in the offering of prominent
properties by public auction. Lots
were drug on the market, and the
only commodity that could be pur-
chased for about so cents on the dol
lar. or even less.
Then one fine day in May came the
announcement of the Forthcoming sale
Of the holdings on Washington Heights
belonging to the estate of the late
James Gordon Bennett This great
sale which had the honor Of CON
Quoting. marked the actual opening Of
the lot auction market in the year 1919
The success of the Bennett sale swept
the pessimists of the real estate mar
ket completely off their feet A more
important effect. however, was the fact
that it demonstrated to the world at
large that there was plenty Of money
available for investment in real estate,
provided the property to be sold was to
be purchased by the bidders at their
own price. and that the sale was lib
orally and honestly advertised, promoted
and conducted.
Keen observers Of conditions in the
real estate world at once became cog
infant OF the fact that the lot market

with this movement came the buying
OF additional properties for the en-
largement of old quarters. Business
space, especially in the downtown dis
trlcts, was in such great demand and
so scarce that Offices, lofts, etc. soon
went to premium.
Shortly after this movement started
negotiated the sale by private treaty
to Judge Gary for the United States
Steel Company of the twenty one
story Empire Building for about So
100000. Soon after the purchase Of
this building for occupancy ncgo-
tia ed similar sale to Mr.. Sinclair for
tn Sinclair Oil Compenv, involving
the thirtyon one story Liberty Tower for
price of about S25OO,O0O.
Rents are now at levels never even
dreamed Of, and they are still soaring.
Manufacturing and industrial space
prices have followed suit. Apartment
rentals are very high, and there are
practically no vacancies. Private
houses, for several years drug on the
market, have been brought we'll within
the scope Of the demand. and are now
being sought assiduously by homeseek-
ers and by those who see in them an
unusual opportunity to convert them
INTO prof tmaking. multi-family houses.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1919-12-28

that real estate. instead Of passing
from strong interests to weak specu
lative interests. is being purchased by
strong interests and taken permanently
out Of the market.
The position which the large lenders
on mortgage have taken is further
protection against imitation. Most of
the mortgages now carry an amortiza-
ton clause which forces the owner to
pay off out of the earnings a portion
OF the mortgage every year. This is
preventing many interruptions people
from buying properties for the purpose
of milking them.
Can Buy Cheaper Than Can Build
Five years ago a builder could erect
q first-class nine story apartment house
on the East Side for between $500
and $4,000 front foot To-day it is
costing at least $4,000 front foot
In spite of the great activity it is still
possible to purchase the best invest
ment properties fully rented for less
than the cost of reproducing them
Furthermore, most of the speculative
builders who own many of the finest
apartment houses in the city find it
impossible to sell on account Of the
excess profits tax; therefore the sup
ply of h'ghgrade properties is limited,
and they are rapidly being purchased
by people who will hold them indef-
initely for the excellent return which
they are producing
IOverproduction Caused Slump
The principal reason for the great
slump which occurred in real estate
during the last ten years was over
production. This situation has been
completely reversed. In the forty high
class apartment houses under our
management, having a combined annual
rental of over $2,500000, there is not
single vacancy. Other real estate
offices report the same condition.
Most of the builders have STONED

by the investing public was the dis
posal of over 10000 lots for total of
over $15,00000O. The lot selling season
of the year 1919 practically was brought
to close with the three-day sale, on
November 3, a and 5, of the properties
in the East Bronx, in the Longwood
Avenue and Hunts Point section of the
East Bronx, owned by the Bronx Ter
mina Corporation, and by the Brady,
Grant and johnson estates.
One of the important deciding fac
tors in the success of these three great
sales Of more than 1850 lots, and
large amount Of valuable water frontage,
was the purchase, by private treaty, on
the eve Of the auction sale, of a large
portion Of the Bronx Terminal property
bv the Robert Dollar Steamship Com
rany for the establishment of New
York and Shanghai steamship terminal.
A. a result of these sales, the Long
wood Avenue section OF the Bronx
will be further developed. while the
undcveopcd section of the Hunts
Point district is now held in the hands
of hundreds Of large and small in
vcstors, none of whom will be slow to
take advantage Of the quick develop
mcnt assured by The Dollar Steamship
Company purchase.

building and are buying improved
property. because they can buy cheaper
than they can build; and they will not
start to build extensively until prices
begin to correspond with the cost of
reproduction, or the cost of building
drops to a point where they can sue

ings.
1t is the opinion of the best builders,
architects and material men that build
ing costs will not come down to any
extent for a great many years.
Different From Other Booms
In conclusion l would like to draw a
comparison between the present boom
and those of the past. Previous booms
ally in unimproved properties and were
discounting the future. The 1920 mar
ket has not yet begun to discount the
present; all the activity is in improved
real estate. Vacant property is nearly
as dormant as it has been for the last
five years.
In the great speculations of 905 and
1906. around the Pennsylvania Station.
in The Bronx and in Queens, all the
activity was non-incomc bearing prop
critics, discounting enhancement in
values which was expected to follow
improved transit facilities. Prices rose
to ridiculous figures and the land
crazed public suffered tremendous
losses when the tide turned and the
boom died out
Conditions Could Not Be Better
anticipate healthy and very active
market III improved real estate during
the coming year, and the cheap prop
critics arc being rapidly picked up by
discriminating buyers who need feel
no cause for worry, even if the present
activity dies out
The demand for space was never
greater and the net income larger and
more uniform that it has ever been.
