Our list of the top 50 ZIP codes shows the concentration of buyer demand in affordable Midwest markets and well-located Northeast markets that offer convenience and value. Homes in the hottest ZIP codes tend to be larger than the U.S. average. Despite their size advantage, a majority of the hottest ZIPs see prices at or below the U.S. median. The Northeast markets on the list tended to be higher priced, but offered more space at a discount relative to the central areas of high-cost metros nearby.
