Brisk Sales Keep District
Building Operations
On the Go.

Demand for homes In the District
of Columbia shows no signs of
abating, although some building
operations are going on which un-
doubtedly relieve the situation
somewhat.
Homes which are now ready for
occupancy are meeting with a
brisk sale, and operators engaging
in this class Of property report that
money seems to be plentiful for the
purchase of homes, despite the lack
of IL in large amounts for applica-
ton as mortgages to underwrite
the construction.
There were several instances re-
ported in home sales during the
week where the purchasers paid
the full cost price of the property
in cash. This Is pointed to by deal
ers as Indicating strong demand
and the fact that while money Is
plentiful. the people are not put
ting 1t in real estate for investment
purposes, although they will put II
up for purchases for their own use.
Building situation Bad.

Franklin T. Miller, real estate and
building expert of the newly
formed Senate special committee
on reconstruction and production,
which will go thoroughly into the
pressive laws. He said that the
law of supply and demand take
care of the situation, as 1t will
anyway.
Eject on Operations.
Miller pointed out that IL the
laws were repealed, of course there
would be a jump in rentals because
of the demand for properties, but
that real estate operations would be
made attractive to investing mon-
ey, building would be resumed, the
supply would catch up and prob
ably exceed the demand in the not
distant future, and then prices
would fall of themselves.
There can be no doubt that peo-
pie who have had large invest
ments in rental properties are al
tempting to unload them; and the
general explanation Is that real es.
tate Is not profitable at this time
The money Invested, ii was pointed
out, can be made to earn more In
industrials where the restrictions
are not great enough to hold down
the earning power.

Considerable interest was dis
played in real estate circles in
Washington over the announce
ment made at the convention of the
National Association of State ReaI
Estate Boards at Kansas City that
the Metropolitan Life Insurance
Company had s50,0OO.000 available
for financing the construction OF
homes costing less than $4,000
each. The company, according to
the dispatch. plans to withdraw all
it's resources from the investment
field and convert them into home
loans.
Local dealers are awaiting with
much interest to hear from the
Washington delegates to the con-
vention the details of the insurance
company's offer which comes at q
time when other moneys are goine
out of the real estate field into
other investments.
