This amount grows more stag
gering and incredible when it Is re-
allied that almost all these pro-
perty transactions took place with
In the last five years
The buying wave began in 1946.
Until then the relocation movement
into Toronto was rigidly control
led and it is remembered that 1t
wasn't until about vi day in the
summer of 1s45 that the Japanese
were able to purchase real proper
ty of any sort. Moreover Japanese
Canadians were still uncertain as
to where they would make their per-
manent home at that time, and no
more than 20 or 30 Japanese fami-
lies had bought their own homes In
Toronto.
However, those few we're to learn
later that they made sound move
for they were able to buy homes at
about half OF what it now costs.
Down payment in some Of the cases
then were as low as $500 with the
total price of fair-sized dwellings
in reasonable condition to be had at
about 5000.
Today, japanese Canadians buy
ing the same quality home are pay
ing upwards of $4,000 requiring
about $4,000 immediate cash. A
glance at the Toronto property-for-
sale ads in both The New Canadian
and elsewhere shows $1,000 is close
to the minimum.
Higher prices, however, have not
deferred buying. In l948 when costs
were already we'll above normal, The
New Canadian reported that there
were approximately 200 Japanese
owned homes in Toronto. The in
crease since that time proves that
property investments have not di-
minished. Last year alone more
than 100 residences are calculated
to have been acquired by Japanese
Canadians.
Although there Is now some slack
ening off as the percentage OF te-
nant Japanese families decreases,
there are two important factors
tending to offset the falling off.
There is a growing trend of Nisei
couples, especially those with child
rem to seek new bungalow-type con-
structions which are mushrooming
up by the thousands in the new re-
sidential districts of suburban To-
ronto.
Many in the last year or so have
taken advantage of the government
sponsored long-term payment plans
that are the outstanding features
in the building of these new houses
This will become incre ssingly popu-
lar as more Nisei families become
economically capable of such In
vestments.
Second, there are those who have
bought homes but who are now

looking for or will be looking for
better homes in better districts.
Many home purchases have been
made as a pressing necessity with
price and immediate possession as
the basic consideration, not perma-
hence or locality. 1t was, at the
lime of purchase, a question of roof
over their heads, but now, or when
circumstances will permit, they are
