Non-Farm Home
Construction Hits
Level Of 1929
Number Of Units Built
In 1899 FiscuI Year
Sc Pct. Above 1888

Reaching the level of 1929, nom
farm residential construction during
the 1899 fiscal year ending June 30
rose Sc per cent In number of units
and 48 per cent in dollar volume
over the previous IL months, it Is
said in the Seventh Annual Report
to Congress of the Federal Home
Loan Bank Board which is to be
released shortly.
Altogether $4,000 new dwelling
units, costing s1,550, 100000, were
constructed or projected by all types
of builders in other than farm areas
during the period.
For the first time since 1929, the
production of new non-farm dwell
ings has approached 100000 units.

mate of the annual volume of con-
struction necessary to meet the
demand created by normal replace
ments and by increases in the num-
Der of families" the report COM
mented in pointing to the revival of
residential construction as lone of
the determining factors in the busi-
ness recovery from the 1878 re-
ceSSion."
Actually, approximately $2,000,0 ,000.-
900 went into non-farm residential
construction during the reporting
period If allowance is made for the
W desprea d valuation of
building permits" upon which the
estimates are based, it was explained
Moreover, through concerted ef-
forts of private industry and public
agencies, beginning was made in
the adoption of home construction
to the broad mass demand" the re-
port continued. In the real estate
market, rents and vacancies were
stable, foreclosures decreased and
the volume of properties involun-
tarily owned by private financial
institutions was reduced.
Home mortgage lending was one
OF the most active sectors in the
private capital market. Whereas in
other fields of economic activity new
capital investments were slow, hous-
ing had become one of the major
outlets for the utilization of accumu-
lated savings. The supply of funds
for mortgages was plentiful, and be-
cause of the steady flow of savings
and the lack of other immediate in
vestment opportunities, sharp COM
petition developed in the hom e
mortgage market. AS a result, f.
nancing costs for new construction
as well as for the purchase and re-
financing of homes were brought
down to unprecedented levels"
Approximately 10 per cent of total
residential building activity in 1888
and the first six months of 1899, the
report said, was concentrated in II
States and the District of Columbia.

Home Loan Bank Districts Los
Angeles, Little Rock, Winston-Salem
and New York.
In the first, where the greatest
relative gain occurred, population
pressure stimulated new building:
in the Little Rock and Winston
Salem districts, the expansion was
due to a particularly marked hous-
Ing need and to an improvement in
business conditions largely resulting
from new industrial activity; while
in the last district of New York and
New Jersey, the rapid development
of suburban areas served as a
stimulus.
