Money Market Worries Realtors and Homebuyers
Real estate men fear the tight money market as mortgage funds become scarcer and rates rise. FHA insured loans face a 6 percent effective rate, VA loans show 5 to 6 percent, while new homes with bank commitments ease financing. Realtors can help buyers shop for best rates and terms amid this constraint. The 52nd National Association of Real Estate Boards convention in Toronto will feature Norman P. Mason, Dr. Raymond J. Saulnier, and J. Stanley Baughman discussing housing finance policy and mortgage markets.

Cost cutting in home building via shared materials and design
Builders propose cutting home costs by using the same materials for structure and finish. Exposed Douglas fir beams and ceiling panels of fir or hemlock create decorative appeal. Panelizing walls and fabricating sections are also suggested to reduce square footage costs.
Easier Credit Urged to Boost Home Building Growth
Carl T. Mitnick, president of the National Association of Home Builders, says private housing starts rose to a record pace in the first half of the year but per capita production lags population growth. He argues the industry can raise output by 100000 units if long term credit at reasonable rates is available, warning tighter money could shrink supply and hurt living standards.
