NEW SUBDIVISION
POINTS INTEREST
IN REALTY MART
Local real estate Interest was
heightened last week by opening
of a now suburban sub-division
by Mrs. Maybelle Bechtcl. The
35-acre tract on King's highway,
has been divided into 17 units,
three of them having 1V4 acres
and 14 having two acres.
ArrnrHinff to realtors the sub
division should help supply the
demand for small acreage, near
the city, which has prevailed for
some time.
The Jacksonville real estate
buying splurge quieted down
untne last week although one
place there, an acre with 24 wal
nut trees and small house, chang
ed hands for the fourth time
since last October. It is under
stood each owner made a profit.
Another place, a residence on
the Old Stage road just at the
edge of Jacksonville, was sold to
Dr. Arnold M. Dcpner, the third
owner in three months;
A Mcdford realtor comment
ing last week on the real estate
outlook, cited a summary of ex
pert opinions published In the
National Real Estate and Build
ing Journal as follows:
"The strong market for exist
ing homes will continue for two
to ten years; most experts say
five years.
"New construction; unemploy
ment will he the factors which
will bring prices down if and
when.
"Opinion is equally divided as
to whether old houses are selling
"New homes will cost 30 to 50
per cent more than in 1940.
One nationally recognized
authority declared that "It will
take the homebuilding Industry
three veara to get into hioh
gear." This authority also points
out that duration of the home
buying bom will vary in differ
ent localities.
