Why borrowers look at Lancaster

Lancaster sits in Los Angeles County, and most borrowers here are buying single-family homes within commuting distance of the area's job centers. Lenders treat it like the rest of Los Angeles County: property taxes are assessed by the county and escrowed into the payment, so the county tax bill is part of every approval here. California is a community-property state with high conforming and high-balance limits in many counties.
