ACTIVE TRADING
PREVAILS IN THE
REALTY MARKET
McKeever Sees Bright Future
For Local Property
. Owners.

ING uuFlnk tne past ieW weeks,
through the ONCE of McKeever and
Goss, are evidenced by an an
nouncement of the Arm yesterday.
1t reports a consistent demand 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 not read
lily susceptible to those influences
which are causing such unsettled
conditions in other localities.
Washington being the National
Capital is entirely different from
every other city in the country"
Mr.. McKeever said. Primarily, 1t
is not an Industrial city and there
fore not so directly affected by the
demands of the worlds market,
nor does it suffer proportionately
during reactionary periods of tenn
porary stagnation which are bound
to follow any expansion so large
as that experienced during the past
few years. Its expansion as a city
always has been consistently con-
servative.
The Republican party has an
nounced that they will take on
much additional personnel to speed
up the 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; and it is, probable that
there will not be enough homes to
go around.
Few Houses Left.
There are less than a thousand
good houses for sale in Washing
ton today and the wise buyer is
purchasing now to avoid paying a
higher price later"
