Fall Festival Enters
Concluding Week End

the Fall Festival it was the
subject of numerous inquir-
les. Most purchasers today
expect it in their new homes.
Most prospects were second
home buyers. They had sew
eral things in mind. They
wanted more room: more
bathrooms and a place in
which children could be
segregated so that the parents
could talk privately about
their daily problems.
On the other hand, many
Festival visitors we're check
ing what the model home
furnishers had done in the
way of decorating. They
wanted to get ideas for their
own homes.
Air Conditioning
Oddly enough, many who
do not now have air condi-
tioning said they doubted
they would use it except dur
ing very warm spells, but they
wanted the satisfaction Of
having it available. if and
when needed.
Builders we're surprised by
some of their prospective
customers in the lower priced
bracket. Some of them
checked the lots with more
than usual care. They con-
fided they had in mind
putting in a swimming pool.
The pool, a status symbol
of yesteryear, is being taken
for granted today. Many
homeowners feel it costs no
more to buy and operate
than a decent automobile.
Buy Now
To a man, the experts
agreed that the present is a
good time to buy. They
pointed out that a buyers
market exists and that inter-
est rates are comparatively
low. They predict that if
interest rates change in the
near future they will go up,
not down.
Passage of the new Hous-
ing Act has also made 1T
possible for more people to
own home than ever before
in our history. Its liberal
terms make it possible for
the aged, those disposed by
urban renewal or other
municipal projects and those
in the lower income brackets
to buy a house on extremely
liberal terms.
Its features also extend to
rem cd cling your present
home or to building a fall
out shelter in the basement.
All of these items coupled
with the fact that building
codes in the area have been
strengthened and competi-
ton has forced the slipshod
builder out of business, make
the Fall Festival model homes
WORTH while visiting.

Mop and Index
During the Fall Festival
and in this issue The Star
has presented on page two
of the section a map plus an
index of each project in
which the type of houses,
their cost, the builders name
and directions have been
supplied.
This map will be a handy
guide in the future and a
valuable reference. BY
referring to it at some later
date you will be able to as
certain whether the property
you have in mind is bar
gain under existing economic
conditions.
Also presented in the Fall
Festival issues were articles
by the leaders, both local and
national, in the real estate
field. These stories were run
in their entirety in order to
give the authors an opportu-
nifty to express their views
and policies concerning the
industry.
Comments from the thou
sands of prospective pur-
chasers indicated the average
home buyer today is a differ
ent breed of cat from the
man who bought immediate
ly after World War II. He is
much more knowledgeable
and discriminating.
Coeent Queries
Builders and statesmen are
finding themselves answering
questions about what is be-
hind the walls, who manu-
factured the unseen insula-
ton and what it is comprised
of and what type of lumber
was used for the subflooring.
The women also are more
inquisitive. They look for
brand names on appliances
and want to know what grade
appliance is put in their
kitchens. Almost all those
who looked around or bought
demanded eating room in the
kitchen, a family room and a
separate dining room in addi-
ton to the other facilities
offered.
The larger families said at
least two bathrooms were a
must. although some were
willing to settle for a bath
and a half if they could get
all the other features they
demanded.
Central air conditioning
was another major item that
came in for discussion. Due
to unseasonably hot weather

President NotonoI Association Of Reel Estote Boards

The real estate market to-
day is as good as it is going
to get in the foreSeeable flu
ture. To persons who have
been thinking about selling
their present home and buy
ing another one, this mean
the perfect time" they have
been waiting for has arrived.
This, then, is a time for
action for those W h o have
been putting off selling the
home they have outgrown
and buying one that more
adequately meets their pres
ent needs. Conditions for
home selling are just about
ideal.
The Nations business skies
are clearing. The last clouds
of the recession are being
supplanted by the sunny glow
of an economic upturn that
is giving new vibrancy to the
real estate industry, among
others.

ed rate of $422 billion which
means that many young fam
lilies who up to now have not
been able to afford a home
of their own will be able to
do so. Dreams will be trans
lated into realities at a quick
ened pace for these young
folks now.
One in Ten
Surveys show that one out
of every three apartment
dwellers and one out of 10
home owners move during a
year. With current condi-
tions being as favorable as
they are, many apartment
dwellers will be becoming
home buyers the next time
they move. Mobility long has
been a characteristic of the
American population. and
people are likely to be NOV
ing more under the influence
OF improving business condi-
tions.
Houses will be in greater
demand, too, as a result of
the expansion of our econom-
ic output. This will lead to
increases in transfers of per-
sonnel from one location to
another by growing business
firms. These people will be
in the market for homes.
The mortgage m ark e t
makes this a good time to sell
homes, also. Interest rates on
conventional home mort
cages have remained stable
for the past few months. 1t
is uncertain. however. how
how much longer they will
remain stable. If there is a
change in interest rates in
the near future, the change
will be up. not down. This
underlines the Importance of
immediate action on the part
of people who have been
postponing listing their
houses for sale.
Listing Home
Matching home buyers to
available homes, of course, is
a Job for an expert - a real
tor. Listing his home with a
realtor should be the first or
der of business for anyone
who wants to sell his prop
erty.
This removes the many
headaches that have made
many a home seller wish he
wasn't. The realtor handles
virtually every phase of SELL
ing a home - from arrang-
ing appointments for show
ing to the closing procedures

Rigid Code

A realtor knows exactly
what a home seeker is looking
for, and how to bring a buy
er and his dream house to-
gether. Because of improve
ments in market research, re-
altors are equipped with more
information than ever on the
national and local trends
which affect real estate. For
example, a recent study
showed that the average fam
lily in one eastern area, looked
at new homes for over a year
and visited Is homes before
buying.

Now, a word about POWER.
The outage problem was less Sc
rious this year than before. I
guess if New York City has out
ages, we're only human too. But
these islands are developing so
fast that we can't afford to be
caught short again on power, and
/ for one won't be satisfied until
outages here are at least as rare
as they are in New York. This
was another aim of my Washing
ton trip. / attended a conference
with the Bureau Of the Budget to-
gether with officials from the De-
partment of the Interior. / helped
secure the needed permission for
VICORP to raise its debt limit in
order to borrow money for more
generators. Now two and a half
million dollars more than what is
presently authorized will be avail
able for erecting a 5,000-kiloWatt
station in st. Croix, and another
in st. Thomas, and this new po-
wer will be in addition to the po-
wer that will result from the wa
ter distllation plants that have
already been approved. So the
wheels are in motion to solve the
power shortage, You will under
stand that a power plant isn't go
ing to spring out of the ground
overnight, but we have taken the
action to get adequate power, and
we'll follow through until the po-
wer is in the lines.
On EDUCATION, / think I've
made it clear that vocational
training is a really urgent need
