appear, Report Shows.

The pronounced seasonal rise and
fan in the activity OF the real estate
market is tending to disappear. This
Is shown unmistakahly in study OF
the oficial records of real estate trans
fers reported to the National Associ-
ation or Real Estate Boards for the
compilation Of its monthly index OF
the real estate market. The former
lowering OF activity, beginning in De-
eember and prevailing noticeably in
January and February, has perceptibly
lessened during the period from 1916 10
1928,
The study found an sppreciable shift
going on in monthly activity with Il
measurable filling up of seasonal
troughs. and a corresponding leveling
OF peaks in seasons of greatest activity.
Translated into the terms OF the
average property holder this means THAT
there is coming to be no reason for
waiting for some peak season" before
putting real estate on the market, or
for a dull season" before buying
house Peak seasons and slow seasons
are tending to merge into uniform ac-
