Two Housing Experts
See Easing il Not End
|0f Shortage This Year
BY the Associated Press

Two industry representatives
today foresaw a substantial cas-
ing, if not the end, of the housing
shortage this year.
A third expert even predicts a
buyers market in real estate, with
the peak in some classes of homes
already passed.
"If the Government lets us build,
the housing shortage will be over
by the end of 1947 and home prices
will soften simultaneously said
Herbert U. Nelson, executive vice
president. of the National Associa-
tion of Real Estate Boards.
The buyers market" prediction
came from w. Wadsworth Wood,
president OF the Home Builders Re-
search Institute and publisher of
the Small Homes Annual, in another
interview.
Peak in Prices Passed.
''The peak in prices of old houses
has been reached and passed." Mr..
Wood said. THE classified columns
are twice as long as they were six
months ago, and Torrent listings are
beginning to appear in most cities -
The National Association of Home
Builders, announcing that private
builders hope to erect 100000
houses this year, declared that good
news is in store for families seek
ing homes"
This volume of building includes
rental housing and should be enough
to permit substantial easing of the
acute housing shortage in most
areas of the country said Joseph
Meyerhof, president of the associa-
ton, in statement.
Mr.. Meyerhof predicted the up
ward spiraling of prices has nearly
reached it's peak on new-home con-
struction and expressed hope that
a gradual lowering of prices on new
dwellings would begin to show up
this year.
Mr. Wood shared this view, but
Mr.. Nelson said he could not fore
cast any lowering of new-home
costs because "the building trades

that the hospital is an Army install

a project.
