1920 REMARKABLE YEAR
IN REAL ESTATE ANNALS

The year 1920 will go down In his
tory as one OF the most remarkable In
real estate annals. 1t opened bril-
liantly and for a few months there
was heavy indication that the long
predicted boom had arrived. Trad
ing in realty. especially in apartment
houses, revived to a remarkable de-
gree, and there was talk of big con
struction work to meet the housing
demand.
But the money market did not re-
spond to the demand, building loans
were costly and difficult to obtain.
Then came the final blow. the pas
sage Of the new rent laws. While
they met the emergency and prevent
ed thousands of eviCtions, they put
a damper on the market in general
and killed construction completely.
While there have been a number OF
large transactions, several successful
auction sales and some loft and com
mercial building construction during
the past few months. the genera
market has been spasmodic and I'M
stable.

McKEEYER & COSS SEE
ACTIVE TRADING SIGNS
Consistent Demand for Resi-
dences and Business Properties.

Indications OF very active trading
during the past few weeks. through
the orics OF McKeever and GosS. 1908
Eye Street northwest. are evidenced
by q recent announcement OF this
nrm. They report consistent de-
msnd for residential and business
properties OF all classes by people
who have apparently come TO realize
that Washington real estate Is a
sound and staple commodity and net
readily susceptible to those influences
which are causing unsettled condi-
tons in other localities.
Mr. Mckesver, when interviewed.
stated: washington, being tho Ma
tlonal Capital. is entirely different
from every other city in the country.
Primarily. II Is not an industrial city
and, therefore, snot 30 directly nnect-
ed by the demands OF the worlds
market for our products. nor does I
suffer proportionstely during reac-
tionary periods OF temporary stagns :
ton which are bound to follow any
expansion so large as that expert
enced during the past few years. Its
expansion as a city has always oeea
consistently progressive
The Republican party has an
nounced that IL viii take on much al
ditional personnel to speed up tue
work OF clearing up the war records.
These new clerks Will need homes;
the new officials will need homes; the
New Congress will need homes: ana Il
is highly possible that there viii
not be enough homes to go around.
Several big appropriations for civic
improvements in various parts OF the
country have already been made and
It Is prophesied in official circles'thar
good deal more money will be set
aside for the same purpose. IL Is an
ticipated that the next twelve months
will mark q period of large Govern
mental orders for building materials
for these long-delayed improvements
to the nearly total exclusion OF sucn
supplies for the construction OF dwell
ings.

Any Building Boom in
1921 Must Be Along
Line of Neu Housing

stTuCtiOn Immediately preceding and
following the signing OF the armistice
factory expansion was in prepOnder-
ancc. Then came a deluge OF public
garage enterprises mingled plentiful
~ with theater Developments, car
lying well into the latter part OF 1919,
AS these types OF construction lost
their prestige there came run OF
banking house Developments. and
with them came forth number OF
office building projects which marked
the passage OF the months early in
1920. Toward the middle OF that year
4 tremendous number of alteration
projects came to light when residcn-
tial structures were vacated and
urn'd into shoWrOoms, Offices and
stores
Labor difficulties had no small part
in bringing about these various
phases in the building industry. The
entire industry, moved possibly by a
feeling that II waS vital to all con-
cerned to protect themselves against
various abuses that had their Guilt
walton for the most part in the ext
gencies Of war times, came into the
year 1920 with a complete realization
that 1t was over-organized.
The outstanding thought in the
mind of the investor with relation to
building construction. whether for
housing or any other purpose. is the
course that the price OF building ma
terials will take. Cost OF construc-
ton is sure to drop. This does not
mean that the wage scales OF labor
ers will be Immediately lowered. 1t
simply means that labor, per man,
will produce more. Instead Of laying
his wartime 500 brick he will lay his
peace-time $500 brick a day. The
same thing applies to all building
artisans.
PRICES SOFTER
Prices of building materials have
softened Some lines have dropped
lower than others. Building mate
rails are not comparable in price
behavior with mercantile commodi-
ties. The underlying rudiments are
entirely different Mercantile lines
are overproduced. Building mate.
rials are underpriced. Mercantile job
bers and dealers have great stocks
representing billions of dollars upon
which they must take loss. APP
parently, as they liquidate.
The course of building material
prices for 1921 should start. II funda-
mental conditions are analysed cor
rectly, from bed rock level to be
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1921-01-08

reached by the middle of February.
There will he an upward course OF
the price graph" running into May.
BY that time the strength and char
aoter Of the 1921 building season
should be fairly well established al
to tonnage and quality. II the de-
mand should be even as great as II
was In the first three-quarters Of
1920 the price market levels will
reach a plateau and the levels Will
he not far from the base for last
year.
Full freedom Of construction with
the postwar readjustment problems
much further along toward solution,
with peace long since an established
tact. instead OF a theory, may be
looked for in the spring OF 1922. BY
that time export and import activi-
ties may be expected to have been
revived. The railroads will have be-
come free buyers In the interim, thus
making up for building hesitancy
this year Commerce and industry
should by that time again be in the
market to expand. Then will come
the full food tide of building activ-
ity and in such a stampede for ma
terials IL Is not beyond reason to
expect the price curve to mature
