Seasonal Activity No Longer Counts in Realty ~~ arket The pronounced seasonal rise and fall in the activity of the real estate market is tending to disappear. This is shown unmistakably in a study of the official records of real estate transfers reported to the National Association of Real Estate Boards · for the compilation of its monthly. index of the real estate market. The former lowering of activity beginning in December and prevailing noticeably in January .a nd February has perceptibly lessened during the period from 1916 to 1928. . The study showed there is increasing activity in the so-called slow seasons and a corresponding decrease in activity in the peak seasons, bringing about a .steadier condition in the market. To the average property holder this means that there is coming to be no reason for waiting for some "peak season" before putting real estate on the market, or for a "dull season" before buying a ·house. There is a definite tendency toward mor~ uniform activity. The reason for this general steadying may be traced to several sources. Chief of these is the fact that building construction has become less seaAlso climatic conditions sonal. throughout the United States are such that there is considerable tendency for unfavorable conditions in one sec .. tion to be off-set by favorable conditions in others.

They come in one piece, so formed as to make a double cushion, and it is claimed they are impervious to leaks.
