(Wikimedia Commons photo) For the third consecutive quarter, the Lafayette-West Lafayette market tops the Emerging Housing Markets Index from The Wall Street Journal and Realtor.com. Three other Indiana communities are also included in the top 10 of the ranking. The index identifies the top 300 metro areas for home buyers seeking an appreciating housing market, a strong local economy, and appealing lifestyle amenities, according to the WSJ. Realtor.com said the top-ranked markets had faster home sales than the market as a whole.
