We have some good news for those interested in buying Lancaster homes. One-hundred-and-one. That’s the number of housing markets showing measurable improvement, according to the latest research from National Association of Home Builders/First American Improving Markets Index (IMI). And, we are excited that Lancaster is on the list! In fact, five Pennsylvania markets made the list.

The list, released earlier this month, shows that housing markets are now improving in 35 states. Just what does this “measurable improvement” mean? The researchers put metropolitan areas on the list that have shown improvement in housing permits, employment and house prices for at least 6 consecutive months. Data for the index is pulled from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (employment growth), house price appreciation from Freddie Mac, and single-family housing permit growth from the U.S. Census Bureau.
