Sandy rides crest of building boom
The Sandy area may be on
the crest of a building boom
with numerous subdivisions
and com m ercial building
starts under construction or
planned
Some predict that the city
w ill double in size by 1980 or
1982, and Sandy merchants
are considering a welcome

accommodate the influx of
new families.

Tom Day reports 236 new
homes approved for con

during this year.
Sandy is growing at a rate
of 15 percent per year, he
reports, with total increase
from 1976 to 1977 a whopping
159 percent in construction
figured dollarwise
That means 266 building

compared to 136 in 1976.

Joan Johnson of Sandy's
Title Insurance Co. of Oregon
said that her office is the
busiest it ’s been in the past
six years- a feeling shared
by busy Sandy realtor Bill
Richardson
In 1977 alone there were
constructed in Sandy 77 new

units, 6 tri plex units, 40 4-

Local co ntractor B ill
T rim b le , however, thinks
that the building boom may
dry up this fall, due to a
tighter money market for
investors
“ Uncle Sam is paying a
higher interest rate on bonds,
so money is going out of
savings and loans to the
government
There w ill, of course, be
some money in government
financed housing, but it w ill
favor the big developer with
resources to process all the
red tape in programs such as
HUD
“ Right now, however, the
market is super strong in
housing, and because it's
strong, it ’s driving the prices
up."
He lam ents, too. the
depleting number of prime
building lots available here.
“ Just two years ago, I could
buy a lot for $6,000-$7,000, but
now it’s $14,IMM)-$16,000.
“ And three years ago, I
