James E. Baker of the Federal Housing Administration told reporters in Reno that FHA and VA repossession sales are very good and point to a return of a stronger housing market. He noted 643 FHA repossessions from November 1964 to April 1966, and that FHA held 241 Las Vegas homes at end-April while selling about 40 monthly. Baker said the record is outstanding compared with conventional foreclosures and that FHA rarely rents repossessed properties.
