IN EARLY UK
St. Louis Economist Note;
Present Minor Recession
as “Usual.”
the Associated Press.
SWAMPSCOTT, Mass., Septembei
84—Roy Wonzlick, St. Louis rea
•state economist, analyst and pub
lisher, last night predicted Increased
reel estate business with a "boom pe
riod” in the early 1940’s.
In an address prepared for delivery
before the forty-ninth annual conven
tion of the Massachusetts Co-operative
Bank League, Wonzlick said:
"Right now we are in the midst ol
• minor recession in the upward move
ment, but no upward movement has
-ever continued without one or more ol
these recessions.”
Wonzlick found that "real estate
eycles differ from general business
tycles in four characteristics: They
ire far more extreme, they are longer
they are more regular and they show
a tendency to rise faster than they
(all.
"The average length of the cycle ir
the last 142 years has been 18.3 years
We have been in the rising portion ol
the cycle since 1933. We believe that
the cycle will pass the top somewhere
In the early forties, probably 1943
1944 or 1945.”
"Urban property will increase ir
value faster than rural property,” he
«aid.
"Residential rents will continue td
rise, pulling values with them until
they reach the point where new build
ings can be built even at today’s high
cost in competition with buildings now
standing. When this point is reached
new building will go forward in large
quantities regardless of Government
stimulation.”
