- January, 1937 THE AMERICAN CHAMBER OF COMMERCE JOURNAL 43 REAL ESTATE By P. D. CARMAN Addition Hillt As will be seen from the following totals, 1936 sales exceeded those of any year since 1919. A very marked improve ment over 1935 or any very recent year will be also noted. While prices in general are still considerably below those obtained prior to the Depression, there has been noticeable improvement during the past year. An acute housing shortage is very evident particularly in the better type of prop erties and construction of new buildings has recently been greatly accelerated. 1935 strong material construction valued at 1*2,648,900, January to November inclusive, was practically doubled in the same period of 1936 with a total of 1*5,223,840. It is improbable, however, that new construction will, in the near future, catch up with the demand created by Manila’s growth in population, increasing prosperity and con struction greatly retarded during the last seven years. 1937 gives decided promise of continued improvement in real estate activity both as to volume and price.
