Lincoln. “ Building Com m u­ nity Through Fair Housing” is the con­ ference theme. Title VIII o f the Civil Rights Act of 1968 bans discrim ination in the sale, rental, finance, advertising and the brokerage o f housing based on race, re­ ligion, color, sex and national origin. The 1988 Fair Housing Amendments Act added non-discrim ination protec­ tions for fam ilies with children and people with disabilities. The new law also strengthens enforcement procedures for fair housing com plaints, as well as imposes fines ranging from $10,000 to $100,000 for those who engage in dis­ criminatory housing practices. The conference will feature panel discussions and workshops conducted by experts from government, industry and non-profit organizations. Some of the workshops being offered are: Fair Housing Enforcement: Testing for l air housing; A ccess for the Disabled: Housing Accessibility Requirements and Prolections;Com m unily Reinvestment Act: Strategies for CRA Im plem enta­ ------ -- Desireo Moore Sales Associale Hcs 345-5177 Mobile; 954-3231 Company ¿Realtors Biographical Information . tion; and Housing A ffordability and Availability : A ssessing and D evelop­ ment o f A ffordable Housing in O re­ gon.

OW N A HOME $350 A M ONTH The Northwest residential real estate m arket will rem ain strong in 1991 ac­ cording to Richard J. Loughlin, presi­ dent and CEO of Century 21 Real E s­ tate Corporation. This is despite earlier fears o f a national recession resulting in depreciating home values. During a recent visit to celebrate the 15th anniversary o f Century 21’s N orthw est region, Loughlin spoke to over 1,200 fellow agents and brokers: “ Housing prices will continue to rise in the Puget Sound area. Real estate activ­ ity has increased substantially in the last 60 days. Housing starts are on the rebound and there should be a turn­ around from a buyer’s to a scllers’s m arket.” High em ploym ent rates and con­ tinued strong perform ance by the Boe­ ing Co., high-technology com panies, m ilitary bases and the University of W ashington will keep inflationary pres­ sure on the booming Puget Sound market according to Steve C arter, director of special services for century 21 N orth­ west Region. “ You can look for a 10- to 12- perccnt appreciation rate next year,” C arter said. * * Puyallup and Everett will be especially strong as a result of subdi­ vision planning in Puyallup and Boe­ ing’s expansion in Everett. A lthough many parts o f the coun­ try arc in a recession, the Northw est has been a good m arket for the past 24 m onths. Real estate prices rose in 37 states in 1989. W ashington (8.4 per­ cent), O regon (12.5 percent) and Idaho (8.2 percent) were in the top six. “ The housing industry is on the verge o f com ing out of the recession,” said Loughlin. “ A renewed confidence, along with lower m ortgage rates and a heal the economy in the N orthw est point toward a good 1991.” In 1990, Century 21 Northwest Region led all U.S. Century 21 systems in production increases o f hom e sales. This is another indication o f the strong Northwest housing market. Closing transaction increased 18.4 percent and commission income to brokers and sales associated jum ped 30.4 percent.
