Housing Market In
Nation Is Leveling
To Steadier Pace
WASHINGTON (in — After 42
months of unprecedented building
activity, the market for both
new and old houses is becoming
increasingly competitive and pric-
es are levelling off, according to a
survey by the U. S. Savings and
Loan League.
The survey disclosed that sales of
higher-priced new homes and of
older housing in practically every
price range are running below last
year's record rate in most com-
munities throughout the nation.
Medium and low-priced homes,
however, generally are selling
about as well as they did in 1951.
Reports from the league's mem-
ber groups around the country
showed that prices have been rela-
tive steady for the past few
months, although three of every 10
returns indicated some weakening
in the higher-priced field.
One big reason for the shift to-
ward a buyer's market is the fact
that almost four million hes houses
have been started since the begin-
ning of 1949—a pace never before
even approached in the industry's
history.
Another, and one which the build-
ers claim is even more important,
is the continuation of the govern-
ment's credit spokesmen, still
smarting over the refusal of Con-
gress to kill Regulation X, contend
that "literally tens of thousands"
of prospective home buyers are be-
ing kept out of the market because
of the high down payments requir-
ed.
The builders have little real hope
of getting Regulation X removed
until the new Congress convenes
in January, although President
Truman is empowered under the
Defense Production Act to lift the
credit curbs sooner.
