2025’s Most In-Demand Zip Codes for Homebuyers May Surprise You

Despite overall slower home sales across the country and softer prices in many markets, some areas of the U.S. are experiencing a boom. According to Realtor.com's "Hottest Zip Codes" report, towns in the Northeast and Midwest currently have the strongest buyer interest.

Based on data from January to June 2025, the rankings considered two factors: market demand, as measured by unique viewers per property on Realtor.com, and the pace of the market as measured by the number of days a listing remains active on the website. The most popular areas are determined by which listings generate the most unique viewers and where homes are selling the fastest.

In 2025, the list is dominated by suburban corridors, where buyers can enjoy slower-paced suburban living without sacrificing access to an economic hub such as Boston, Philadelphia, and New York.

According to Realtor.com, listings in these zip codes generated 3.6 times more views and sold 30 to 42 days faster than the U.S. average. Because housing inventory is more limited in many of these areas, buyers face fewer choices, encouraging faster decision-making and more aggressive bidding.

Seven of the top 10 zip codes had median listing prices above the national average of $441,000 in June, while six were more affordable than their surrounding metro areas. Zip codes such as 01915 (Beverly, MA) and 07470 (Wayne, NJ) offer cost savings when compared to city-center prices in Boston and New York, respectively. For example, the median listing price in Beverly reached $719,000 in June, more than $250,000 above the national norm, but it remained nearly 16 percent below the Boston metro average.

Realtor.com describes these areas as "a sweet spot for shoppers who want suburban amenities and proximity to jobs without paying top-tier metro premiums."
