housing paid by Negroes in the
sales market of housing. However,
1t is a generally accepted fact
that the restricted market in hous-
ing available to Negroes causes
sales prices to rise in areas under
going racial transition from white
to nonwhite. Thus, nonwhite home
owners pay premium prices for
such housing.
Even in the area Of home fl
nancing it is not only difficult for
Negroes to obtain favorable credit
terms, but often they can get fin
ancing only by sacrificing one or
more additional percentage points
OF the mortgage.
The land contract is but one
additional area of housing In which
vast profits are reaped at the ex-
pense of nonwhites caught in the
wise of racially restricted housing.
"A Chicago Urban League sur
vey recently checked the sales his
tory of nine properties, selected at
random, which had been sold in
transitional neighborhoods.
Seven of the houses were sold
by spectators. Price increases
ranged from go to 120 per cent

that one half of the houses &C
quired by Negroes IN areas Of tran
sition are purchased by land con-
tract.
During the period 195O-1956 Ne
groes acquired over 10000 used
houses in Chicago. If a low of

average price increase on each of
