Dovenmuehle Inc. Records Big Volume F.H.A. Business Dovenmmechle, Inc. yesterday anâ€" nounced that it had purchased $408,â€" 800 of FHA loans, secured by 55 inâ€" dividual * mortgages, during the ?;,irty day period ending April 15, 37. This is the largest volume of FHA business ever transacted by auy firm in this area during a like period of time, according to Theoâ€" dore A. Buenger, president of the $2 year old mortgage banking house, "Some iden of what the Dovenâ€" muchle purchase of $40§,800 of FHA loans in thirty days means," gaid Mr. Buenger, "may he obtained from comparing this figure with the total amount of FHA loans recorded in Cook county during the first ninety days of the current year. This latter figure, which takes into acâ€" count all of the loans recorded here for all qualified mortgagees, totals $3,068,450. Thus our purhases over the last thirty days‘ are equivalent to more than 13 per cent of all the FHA. recordings in Cook county for the first ninety days of 1937. . "Frankly, we have been surprised by q:e amount of new construction work which is contemplated for the Chicago area. If the cost of maâ€" terial and labor can only be kept "within reasonable bounds; we beâ€" lieve that the amount of new buildâ€" ing in 1937 will exceed the highest expectations of those who are interâ€" ested in real estate. "The most ‘significant thing that we observed in transacting this large volume of FHA business, was that for the first time our volume of construction Joans stepped out ahead ‘of the amount of mortgages made for refinancing mortgages involving a consideration of $176,200. "Of the 31 FHA construction loans Dovenmuehle purchased durâ€" ing the last month," Mr. Buenger continued, "three amounting to $17,â€" 700 were «ocated in Chicago, two totaling $23,600 were secured by homes to be built in Wilmette, two totaling $24,000 were in Highland Park, and one $16,000 mortgage was in HuBbard Woods. To the northâ€" west, we purchased four construcâ€" tion loans in Park Ridge totaling $32,800, and three in Edgebrook totaling $15,500. To the west, there wasone $14,000 construction mortâ€" gage h-&l Park, and two in River Forest amounting to $21,000, one in Elmhurst for $5,600, and one in Hinsdale for $11,000.
