Monday, March 20, 1922 Building Permits ARNOLD KRAEMER BLDG. TO BE STARTED SHORTLY Anaheim continues to maintain its record of the fastest growing city in Orange-co with building permits in excess of this date last year which was a record-breaker. $5,000 HOMES IN BIG DEMAND HERE "There's a crying need for homes here, which in the majority of cases should be at prices not exceeding $5,000," said Harold Clairmont, Greater Anaheim Realtor. "In the very near future we may have in our midst an industrial enterprise which would bring in an influx of new residents for whom we could not supply adequate housing facilities." "There is a general tendency in arriving at values to base the price on the individual's home by what his or her neighbor received for the sale of their property. People do not stop to think that this creates an inflated figure, the amount of which is lacking." "This also does not recognize the fact that building materials have some down." "This office has the greatest faith in the future of Anaheim and has gone on record as anticipating a population for Anaheim in 1925 of from 20,000 to 25,000." Clairmont has been doing business for some weeks past in his new office at 304 W. Center-st in the new postoffice building, where he has accommodations inferior to those of no real estate office in the city. In the comparatively short time he has been here Clairmont has built up a clientele as desirable as it is diverse. Total permits for the first three months last year were $309,350, compared with $281,495 for the first two and one-half months this year. The last half of this month promises to exceed the total for the last six weeks. A $100,000 permit for the Arnold Kraemer bldg., will be filed within a few days. There will also be a permit for $15,000 to $20,000 for the Reuther market to be constructed by F. A. Yungbluth, alterations to the Elsie Rust block and other big improvements known to be coming up shortly. Permits for the first three months of last year compared with the first two and one-half months of this year are: | Year | No. | No. | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | Jan. | 38 | $130,400 | 47 | $83,896 | | Feb. | 34 | 58,950 | 46 | 117,013 | | Mar. | 32 | 120,000 | 30 | 80,635 | | Building construction of all kinds has been greatly retarded this winter because of the extensive unseasonable weather. Given some real Anaheim weather for a time and building permits will see a decided jump, say builders. This going to be a great home-building year, according to every indication. Building costs are considerably below a year ago. FLAT-IRON-BLDG.
