EXPECT REAL ESTATE
"' BOOM IN SPRING

A survey OF the state and nation
building and real estate situation
shows that the local market is keep
ing pace with the existing conditions.
Insurance business is making a rec
ord at the present time, and real es-
tate sales are on par with the total
of the last two months.
Material prices in the state have
begun to weaken as the result of
stagnation in the building line. While
there has been dropping below
normal in construction work. pro-
duction has been going ahead, and
consequently a market must be
found for MAJ rials in stock.
Lumber Is among the materials
gowing down. A five per cent. drop
is general throughout the state.
Sheathing boards have been quoted
as low as $40, but the general price
given is $12. Lath is being offered
by some dealers i'm the northern part
of the state as low as SIS, but in
most places the prevailing price Is
$22. Hollow tile is offered at
slightly reduced figure, and cement
has fallen off about twenty cents
barrel Brick can be bought for s25,
or about eight dollars decline.
Building experts in the southern
part of the state are advising the
people to build and buy now. Tney
say that even with the decrease In
material there will be no change in
the market for some time to come.
l.. Ward Prince. president of the
realty board in Westchester County,
n. Y, in statement says that
slack real estate and building mar
ket will prevail from November to
next February and urges buying and
building during this period as mon
eysaving proposition. He says that
houses will not be either cheaper to
buy or build in the spring.
In regards to the new law ex-
empting new dwellings from taxes
for five years. it was recently de-
clared that all additions and i'm
provements to dwellings will be enti-
tied to the same freedom from taxes
as a house built between October /,
last, and October /. 1912. The law
says that no taxes shall be levied, as
sessed or collected on any improve
ments to real estate which may be
erected between the above mentioned
dates for dwelling purposes.
With the approach of winter II is
expected that still lower prices on
materials will be in evidence. and il
is the general belief that early p.inS
will be ideal for construction TrO-
iects. The local dealers, as wei! AS
the state real estate men. are now
urging the public to get plans under
way so as to be ready to take advan-
tagc of the better conditions looked
for in the spring.
