Bar to Housing Prices Threatens Low-Cost Home Buyers
Washington report notes inflated lot and acreage prices rising faster than houses, threatening veterans and other buyers. A National Housing Agency survey shows lot prices up 23.3 percent from 1945 to 1946 and a 61.8 percent surge from 1940 to 1946, with some small cities seeing 300 percent gains. The veterans emergency housing law aims to cut costs via subsidies and new materials, but ceilings on lots and existing homes are not provided, raising concerns that land costs will spike further as demand for 2.7 million houses grows.
