been graded and work is progressing on
the plan for the double terrace at the

REALTORS ADVISE BUYING HOME
IN KEEPING WITH EARNINGS
National Board Suggests Two and Half
Times Annual Income as
Limit of Cost.

The prospective home owner. gen.
orally speaking, should not obligate
himself to buy house costing more
than about two and half times his
annual income, unless he has consider
able ready capital to apply toward the
purchase. the National Association of
Real Estate Boards states in the sec
ond of a series of articles on real es-
tate matters made public today.
This general rule, the association
points out. has been put to considerable
test throughout the country and is
based on experiences which tend to
show that the average American family
can pay from one-third to one-fourth
of its income for shelter.
What you can afford to pay for a
home is a very important question, -
says the national association. There
is the danger of overbuying. which
may cut down on your activities outside
of your home, and there is the danger
Of underbuying. that may give you a
home that is not good enough for you
and your family.
Don't overbuy when you purchase
home. Home life is most satisfactory
when the family income is so budgeted
as to finance the home and the other
activities modern people want to under
take Select dwelling that is in keep
ing with your income.
Don't underbuy when you purchase
a home. AS a renter you most likely
have established certain living stand
ards. If, due to overcaution, you pur-
chase or build home lacking the at
mosphere or convenienceS to which you
have become accustomed, or located in
a cheaper neighborhood than the one
in which you have been living, you and
your family may not enjoy home own
ership as fully as you should.
How are you to know exactly what
you can afford? Economists and So
biologists on the one hand and practical
real estate specialists on the other agree
in general that the average American
family can pay from one-third to one
fourth of its income for shelter EX

During 1927.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
BALTIMORE, october 6.-Building
operations in Baltimore or the nine
months ended September 80 show an
increase over the construction record
for the entire year of 1927.
Total valuation of permits granted
this year up to and including Septem-
Der 80 is 34,678,080. as contrasted
with $27,862, 572 for the corresponding
period of last year. The total for 1927
was LIPS ,348.
New construction. additions and al
terations in September totalled $685.
600, and the total for September, 1927,
was $2.7l5,720. and for August, 1923.
So, 1893 $50. The total for the month is
the second highest for any one month
since April, 1921, when construction
here reached a total of $8,305, 200, the
highest in the history of the city.
Permit was granted in September for

perience shows that this rule Is prac-
tical in modern times. Therefore. the
ideal homecoming proposition for the
time-payment buyer is that in which a
home can be acquired on the same
monthly terms as it can be had on
lease.
"A rule that has been put TO consid-
cradle test throughout the country pro-
vides that in general the family with
out capital going out to purchase a
home on time should not pay more than
about two and half times its income
for it, because the cost of buying and
living in homes purchased on time usu-
ally totals approximately the 25 and
IS per cent figures described above.
IF you keep down your expenditures
for shelter to around one-fourth Of
your income and carefully budget the
balance of your earnings, you can meet
the payments on your home and live a
| well rounded out life"
