Sharp revival in privately financed homebuilding during the post-war period is anticipated by many bankers active in the home mortgage field, according to a survey of banking opinion on the post-war home financing outlook appearing in the current issue of the Insured Mortgage Portfolio, ofifrcial publication of the Federal Housing Administration.

While the existence of numerous problems in the home financing field is conceded, most of the statements contributed to the survey indicate a belief that a large volume of housing construction will be one of the principal means of bridging the transition between a wartime and a peacetime economy so as to maintain maximum employment and industrial activity, and to advance the national standard of living after the war is won.

Emphasis is put upon new technological developments in materials and methods of construction.
