S.F. Reoltors Optimistic

I\{embers of the San Francisco Real Estate Board returned last month from the annual directors' meeting in Washington full of optimism over the outlook for the real estate mlarket in the balance of 1958. Leaders predicted an increase in home buying, decrease in interest rates, and stabilization of prices.

It was forecast that homebuyers intent on quality will reenter the market in larger numbers the latter part of the year, and that prices will remain constant or rise slightly in the west. The 65th annual market survey was heard by San Franciscans J. Mortimer Clark, CREA past president, and others.

The increase in housing sales will stem from moderately priced new construction and improved flow of mortgage funds, it was reported. Revived confidence by the National Assn. of Home Builders was also reported, with three out of five builders said to be expanding their scheduled 1958 operations.
