Realtor.com has identified the hottest ZIP codes in the U.S., where homes are sometimes snatched up in mere hours. And how an area has handled the pandemic seems to have influenced buyer interest. All data was collected between April and June of this year. Realtor.com compared which ZIP codes received the most views per property and had the fewest days on the market. Each town has a different appeal: some offer good school districts, others have easy access to nearby cities, some are more affordable. Did your town make the list? Read more to find out.
Many folks who have been spending more time than ever before in their abodes, especially those who will be working from home indefinitely, are looking for larger homes in more remote areas where it's easier to maintain social distance.
"People are shifting away from Western metros, which tend to be more expensive,” says Hale.
Homes in these ZIPs sold in an average of just 18 days. That's about four weeks faster than in their respective metropolitan areas and roughly 51 days faster than properties in the rest of the country. They also received about 4.3 times more views on realtor.com.
