A CMHC FEATURE Builders are the first to wel- come any improvement in housing design, materials and building methods, especially if it means a saving in time and cost. The home owner is the one who in the end reaps the greatest benefit from.the research that is going on in the field of housing. But he should learn to dis- tinguish between what is a genuine improvement and what is simply dressing-up. Also, the builder who values his reputation will avoid using new materials until they have proved their worth. Substitute materials must not only be as attractive and as prac- tical as the materials they re- place but they must stand the test of time. When in doubt it is always better to use traditional ma- terials of good quality. The difference in cost between a second rate product and a first rate product may be negligible but the difference is soon ap- parent after a period of use. A top quality floor tile, for example, may cost just a penny more than an unknown make but may give far better wear. That is the difference between an ac- ceptable material and one of su- perior quality, What is old is not necessarily obsolete, just as what is new is not necessarily better. On the whole, the object of all serious research in housing is to simplify and to beautify without sacrificing durability, and wher- ever possible to reduce the pro- duction cost.

YOU PAY CASH If you are In. the. position of being able to pay cash for your house you are able to save your- self interest. In other worrie, you. become your own lender, lending money to ypiirSelf, But then your money is not earning anything for you. It. is. invested in a fixed asset, and your only earnings on the amount, the value of the asset depreciates. The only way you would realize additional return on your invest- ment, while you are retaining your home would be to pay your, self interest regularly and invest it elsewhere. Even if YPP have the cash, it may not be wise to put it all into your house at the outeet, A cash reserve should be retained for family financial emergencies, for PPP thing. There are sometimes more important things than get- ting your mortgage paid up as quickly as possible. There is also the matter of in- flation to consider. It has been estimated that money is losing its value at the rate of some 4% a year in Canada. If this trend continues, it means that ten yoars 4oin now every one hundred dol- lars you pay in mortgage and in- terest payments will be worth only $60 by today's standards. This is one reason real estate is such a popular investment in times of inflation, because while the terms of payment are set to- day, the actual payment will occur in the future in dollars of less and less value. In this way it can be reasoned that you save money by going into debt — if inflation con, Unties. Therefore, even if you have the money now to pay cash for your house, or to make a very large down payment, it might be more profitable for you in the long run to take nominal mortgage terms and invest your money elsewhere. When you are in the realm of in- vestment, however, you can ex- pect no guarantees. Investment implies that your best bet is to always consult with the more con- fident financial advisor you know -- your banker, investment coun- sellor or mortgage company re- presentative, with him, calculate the alternative ways of using your capital,
