Real estate trends in High Point after December 1942
Ed Mendenhall reports tightened vacancy in houses, apartments, and stores with no rent surge. The sales market is very active, prices up 20 to 30 percent since 1940, and few new homes have been built. He notes cost of building a 1940 home rising to 4000 4200 and suggests likely modest future declines in older homes and costs, with rising lot prices. High Point realtors remain ready to assist buyers.
