Sections of the Pacific Coz which
have been VIGOROUSLY overDuit are
now crying for homes, homes and still
more homes, and the once surfeited
subdivision market is gradually being
absorbed by the steadily increasing
demand for building lots. And the
reason for this condition Is obvious,
when one takes into consideration that
the housing condition must inevitably
absorb the present available supply.
During the way we fell about two
and one-half years behind in our na-
tional building program. The present
demand far exceeds the supply. The

Reflection upon a homcly bit Of
philosophy encountered some few years
ago in mid W estern town gives one,
perhaps, something of m insight into
the present situation regarding vacant
properties. Folks aIn't going to buy
lots when houses are going begging for
half what they're worth"
Nothing that can remember defines
more clearly the subdivision conditions
of the United States at the time we
entered the Wor War. Houses were
going begging. For Rent signs were
rampant and the supersaturatcd sub
division market was nearly stagnant
A perfectly natural condition, too,
when one considers the principle of
supply ana demand. The country had
actually been fed more houses than it
required and many times more lots
than building operations could readily
absorb.
Tide Is Now Running Other Way
The pendulum is swinging backward
now, gradually at first, but gaining
momentum as it proceeds, A letter Oh
my desk this morning from an opera

indicative Of the change.
Never in the history of this coun-
tly has there been much real estate
activity az to-day. The house market
is exhausted, farms are going Ike hot
cakes and the lot business is picking
up so fast that We have had to double
