A BOOM COMING IN
REALESTATE.
A Great Demand tor Houses and
Lots of all Kinds.
Real Estate Agents Say They Have
Never Seen Busier Times Than at
Present—Much Building is to be
Done Within the Next Few Months
—Both Residences *nd Business
Houses.
(From Tuesday’s Dally.)
The real estate agents declare that
the demand for houses to rent In
Valdosta was never greater than at
the present time. They also say
they have never seen a more solid
demand for real estate of all kinds.
All sorts of property, and especially
suburban lots, which can be bought
reasonably, cheap are being bought
up as fast as possible, and the out
look Is that there will be a great
building boom all along the line in
the next few months.
Agent Holcomb said last night:
“There are four or five homes going
up on Hill avenue and five or six to
be built on Valley street. I could
fill every one of them in ten minutes
if they were completed. There is a
•demand here today for twenty or
thirty houses at from $20 to $30 a
month rent. There will be a demand
for fifty or one hundred such homes
before they could be completed if
work were to begin upon them now.
“There is a great demand here for
building lots of ail kinds, small
farms near by, and suburban lots,”
he continued. “Lots in the northern
part of the city seem to be the fa
vorites now. I have had a dozen re
plies to one little ad about a small
farm which I had for sale. It all
shows that the railroad movement,
the new college, public building and
other things that are coming this
way are having a good effect.”
New Business Houses to go up.
The Times mentioned yesterday
that the old Converse stable Is being
torn down to make room for a hand
some three story building. It is to
be erected by the Converse estate
at once. It is understood that one
of the secret orders will have lodge
rooms Yn this building.
Messrs. B. F. and Corley Strlck-
.land expect to build on their comer,
Hill Avenue and Patterson street, as
•oon an the present leases expire.
This will be several months, though
everything will be ready for the work
-of tearing down the present struct
ures when these lessees give up their
places.
The building to go up there will be
about six stories high and will be of
modern finish and equipment through
out. The lower floors will be used
for business houses and the upper
floors for offices. It will have a pas
senger elevator and will be. a struc
ture of which Valdosta will be proud.
There Is also a very well defined
rumor of a handsome four story
building to be erected on Central
avenue, on the lot near Mr. H. V.
Tillman’s home.
It Is not known exactly when the
government will begin work upon Its
handsome court house here, but the
appropriation has been made for It
and the building will be erected dur
ing the coming year.
