- Beverly, Massachusetts is the nation’s hottest ZIP code, according to a study by Realtor.com. Houses in the area sell in just 16 days. The Northeast boasts seven of the 10 hottest ZIP codes this year.
While the housing market, overall, has seen better days, some areas are still doing well.
Realtor.com has issued its study of the country’s hottest ZIP codes—and if you’re looking to sell and live in the Northeast, things could be a lot worse.
Beverly, Mass. is the country’s hottest area, particularly houses in the 01915 ZIP code, with houses only staying on the market for an average of 16 days (and selling for an average of $746,000). The Boston suburb has commuter rail access, appealing livability and its houses, while $250,000 higher than the national norm are 16% cheaper than the rest of the Boston metro area.
Seven of the 10 ZIP codes is in the Northeast, in fact. And none of the ZIP codes featured has a median days on market over 3.5 weeks.
Here’s how the 2025 list lines up.
- Beverly, Mass. (01915)
- Marlton, NJ (08053)
- Leominster, Mass. (01453)
- Ballwin, Mo. (63021)
- Wayne, NJ (07470)
- Strongsville, Ohio (44149)
- Trumbull, Conn. (06611)
- Cumberland, R.I. (02864)
- South Windsor, Conn. (06074)
- Bexley, Ohio (43209)
National housing inventory was 28.9% higher year-over-year in June of this year, but even with that boost, listings were 12.9% below where they were before the pandemic. In the hottest ZIPs, however, inventory averaged 58.9% below the 2019 levels.
This year marks the third consecutive year that the South and West did not make the list. The addition of Strongsville marks the first time a Cleveland suburb has made the list.
“Buyers are moving fast, thinking big, and choosing communities that offer the right blend of value, access, and quality of life,” wrote Realtor.com. “As mortgage rates remain high and inventory levels gradually recover, expect these kinds of high-performing, value-driven suburban areas to remain at the forefront of market activity.”
