Policy & Regulation
April is recognized as National Fair Housing Month—a time to reflect on the ideals of fairness and equal access to housing. At the time this blog post was written in 2025, federally, there are seven protected classes under the Fair Housing Act: race, color, national origin, religion, sex (including gender identity and sexual orientation), familial status, and disability.
One area that may deserve more exploration is age. Under current Pennsylvania law, individuals under the age of 40 may not be protected from housing discrimination based solely on age. This raises an interesting question:
Should adults aged 18 and older be protected under state law in the same way those 40 and older are?
Especially when it comes to housing access for college students and young renters, this question might become even more relevant.
Market Observations
The old adage “Location, Location, Location” is a fundamental truth in real estate. Of course it would be, right? After all home’s location is fixed—it doesn’t change.
In this case, all of the properties analyzed are within Downingtown Borough, meaning their location is relatively the same. However, location alone doesn’t determine price. Condition is the key variable, and as the sales featured illustrate, it can cause significant differences in price—even between nearly identical homes.
