Mortgage rates should remain in the 9 to 2 percent area during the year. People seem to have become comfortable with that level. Money should be available, and financing will continue to be flexible in terms of down payments and other financing arrangements. We expect the number of agents to increase by a third over last year. We are also anticipating a large jump in the number of brokers. The average price of a home will continue to climb. I cant see any halt in the price increase of all real estate. In the long run, this could cause severe problems, because real estate might lose its broad market by becoming too expensive. 1 keep thinking it must top out soon, but I can't see that happening this year. We expect real estate sales to grow about 12 percent over the record levels established in 1977. Last year, as far as cross and multiple listings are concerned, members of the Salt Lake Board of Realtors grossed $445 million in sales. This year, we could push $500 million in volume. The southwest part of the valley. Granger, Jordan, Sandy and West Jordan, should experience the most dramatic growth in new housing sales. The southeast area should continue to dominate the existing home volume in the area. Commercial real estate should be extremely busy during 1978. As it stands right now, its a seller's market, with the only outlet being new development of industrial Downtown parks and office buildings. locations are very much in demand, and should remain that way, despite the real company and its individual officers would be forthcoming.

Francis, contractor, told the Enterprise completion has been delayed until May, at least. "They cant get the steel because people in the East do business the right way during December," said Fred Tan-nenbau- of Associated Spec- ialties, who is supplying the steel. "They just close down their plants during the hol- idays," he said.
