HOUSING BOOM THIS SPRING, EXPERTS AVER Analysts Foresee Modernization Gains as Country Forges Ahead One of the biggest modernizing booms "of all time" is rapidly getting under way, according to building analysts and: experts close to the construction industry of the nation, the Federal Housing Administration has been informed. Given as reason for this opinion are the following factors in presentday modernization impetus. The easy payment, "no-moneydown" features of the Federal Housing Administration's modernization loan plan. The approach of spring and ideal building and repair seasons. The nation-wide set-up of financial institutions as lending agencies under the modernization credit plan.
More widespread understanding of the true nature of the Federal Housing Adr. nistration's plan of financing and more general appreciation of the profits open to financial institutions through the making of "character loans" for modernizing. Builders Now "Sold" The fact that contractors, builders, carpenters, dealers and subcontractors have become "sufficiently sold" on the Better Housing Pro- gram, and are now. making serious efforts to merchandise building materials and sell the idea of renovizing to the general public. The introduction into the building trades of installment selling method.
The Housing Administration also has been notified that there is widespread understanding of the difficulties that attended the organization of the Better Housing Program and that the building trades are conscious of the fact that the housing movement was slow to get into full swing because of the magnitude of the project. Now that foundation has been well laid, the sentiment on every hand is that the spring of 1935 will mark a boom period in modernization in the United States that is without precedent in history. sP ing room.
