Situation 'Tight'

Forrest Marshall, another realtor, explained
that the housing situation is "real tight". He
says "It was bad this summer before the
students came." Of his clients this fall he says:
"They were desperate-they took pretty much
everything."

The fact that "pretty much everything" is
gone is affirmed by other real estate firms. In a
spot check of realtors who deal with rental
property near the University it appears that
there is virtually nothing left. Think about it.
When was the last time you saw a "for rent"
sign anywhere close to the Grounds?"
