OPEN HOUSE Luxury condos sell briskly By JAMES M. WOODARD Like the continuing brisk market for big "heavily endowed" en-dowed" luxury automobiles, sales of high-priced condominium condo-minium units are leading the pack in early 1975 home sales figures. Generally, new and resale condominium homes are chalking up rather sluggish, or at least spotty sales records rec-ords across the country. However, the luxury units in most desirable locations are scoring outstanding sales successes. Many of the high-priced but fast-selling condominiums are in resort areas, according to Jackson W. Goss, president and chief executive officer of Investors Mortgage Insurance Insur-ance Co. of Boston. "Most of these resort-oriented condos are being acquired by investor-types, as opposed to people peo-ple who plan to use the property prop-erty exclusively for themselves," them-selves," he said in an interview. inter-view. Investor-owners often purchase pur-chase two or more units, with the intention of holding the property for future value appreciation ap-preciation later selling the units for capital gain profits. However, there is an increasing in-creasing problem in such a .plan, Goss noted. "Management's "Manage-ment's success, thus far, at getting rentals for condo units for specified periods has been less than spectacular," he said. "This means buyers now have to make their decision deci-sion on the use of their resort condo as a second home, 3s opposed to a second home-investment vehicle." One reason more high-priced high-priced condos are selling is the greater availability of mortgage funds to finance such units. Savings and loan associations and other thrift institutions, now with more money in their pockets, are taking a more kindly look at the loan applicant with an "expensive condo" gleam in his eye. And such applicants who happen to be women are not being abruptly refused in the 1975 market. Applicants must be well qualified to receive loans for super-spiffy condos, and lenders are being highly selective se-lective in making the loans. But loans are being made to affluent buyers, and the market mar-ket is strong. For the most part, persons who are purchasing the more expensive condo units, like the luxury car buyers, are those who have not yet been affected by the recession. Incidentally, there have been a significant increase recently in consumer complaints com-plaints regarding the construction con-struction of new condos and the conversion of existing apartment units to condos. Public hearings on the problems prob-lems are being held in Washington Wash-ington by the Dept. of Housing Hous-ing and Urban Development. The hearings are primarily focusing on topics such as the structuring of sales agree Section Two ments, management of condo developments, unfulfilled promises of a developer, issues is-sues related to converting a property into a condo (particularly (par-ticularly the treatment of existing ex-isting tenants) and possible legislation to correct key problems. Q. Are homes becoming larger or smaller? A. The current trend is toward to-ward smaller homes. However, Howev-er, until recently the average new home was steadily growing grow-ing in size. Since 1950, the average home square footage increased in-creased 42 per cent. It's also interesting to note that while the incomes of American families became three times higher during that 25-year period, pe-riod, the price of the average home increased by only 2.5 times. However, the average monthly payment on home mortgage loans has climbed to six times what it was in 1950. Q. Are alimony payments considered in determining if a home loan applicant is qualified for a needed loan? A. Many lenders will now consider this income if such payments are clearly spelled out in the court order. Gene Smith ends training Army Private Gene Smith, whose parents, Mr. and Mrs. John W.

NO, says the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. This artist's concept con-cept of NASA's Space Shuttle shows how the vehicle will actually fly the first h's of its journey into space. It will be flown upside down so that the airplane-like orbiter spacecraft on the bottom and its flight crew will be protected from high wind forces in the earth's atmosphere by the shuttle's big liquid-fuel tank as well as its two large solid booster rockets. The orbiter is now being designed by Rockwell Rock-well International Corporation and the giant fuel tank by Martin Marietta Corporation. Cor-poration.

After the solid rockets burn out and fall away, the rest of the space ship is turned rightside up for the remainder of its flight. Summer events planned at Grant School The Grant School Summer School celebrated July 24th with a pioneer picnic on July 23rd at Kelly's Grove. Many children ate pioneer stew from tin cans. Most of the canyon activities were reminiscent of things our pioneer ancestors would do for recreation. Yesterday the student body went swimming at Park RoShe. This field activity has become a favorite of many of the children. Tomorrow the school will go to Salem Pond for instruction and fun.
