Apache Junction, AZ (85119)
This desert-fringe zip near Phoenix is having a breakout year. Home prices have surged nearly 50% from 2024, with a median listing around $675K. Tucked against the Superstition Mountains, it’s a scenic magnet for retirees and remote workers alike. Inventory’s tight, and buyers are snapping up well-priced listings fast — often in under two weeks. It’s a rare combo of natural beauty, value, and momentum.
Mammoth Spring, AR (72554)
Tucked along the Spring River, Mammoth Spring is making noise. Median listing prices climbed nearly 50% this year to just under $300K, driven by outdoor appeal and remote-work flexibility. It’s quiet, peaceful, and rising fast — precisely the kind of small town buyers are targeting as city prices stay stubborn. A sleeper hit that won’t stay quiet much longer.
Winsted, CT (06098)
This historic New England town is turning heads with a 50% jump in median prices year-over-year. Now hovering near $480K, Winsted offers charm, space, and proximity to both Hartford and NYC. The architecture is classic, the inventory is low, and competition is fierce. It’s one of those Northeast towns where the word’s gotten out — if you’re not moving fast, you’re not moving in.
Campton Hills / St. Charles, IL (60175)
Buyers craving suburban calm near Chicago have zeroed in on this spot. Home sales are up nearly 40% and views per listing have doubled. The area blends open space, strong schools, and family-friendly amenities. Median home prices sit around $615K, and listings don’t last long. If you’re house-hunting in the Midwest, this zip is hot — and heating up.
Vinton, IA (52349)
Another small-town stunner. Home prices in Vinton are up more than 49% year-over-year, hitting a median just under $270K. With big backyards, low crime, and a cost of living that’s hard to beat, it’s no surprise buyers are circling. Quiet doesn’t mean forgotten — this zip is drawing interest across the board, from first-time buyers to retirees cashing out of pricier states.
Jenison, MI (49428)
Located just outside Grand Rapids, Jenison’s getting a lot of love in 2025. Redfin reports a 139% surge in listing views and double-digit sales growth. Homes here move fast — less than 20 days on average — and the median sits around $356K. It’s suburban, stable, and exactly the kind of market buyers are fighting over in a year of tight supply.
Booneville, MS (38829)
Don’t sleep on Mississippi. Booneville’s home values are up 49% from last year, with median prices near $225K. This one’s for buyers who want space, peace, and an easy price tag. Locals are staying put, out-of-state interest is creeping in, and inventory’s not keeping up. It’s the early stages of a small-town surge.
Manchester — Nashua, NH (multiple zips)
The Manchester — Nashua metro is the hottest housing market in the country right now. Median listings run about $520K — way below Boston’s — but offer a similar job pool and lifestyle. No sales tax, strong schools, and low crime are fueling bidding wars under $500K. This whole region’s cooking, and there’s no sign of slowdown.
Brooklyn, NY (11238 — Prospect Heights / Clinton Hill)
Redfin calls this the hottest zip in the U.S. for 2025. Sales have more than doubled, and buyers are fighting over brownstones with million-dollar price tags. Median sales hover around $1.4 million, and listings disappear fast. This is pure urban heat: walkable, historic, and competitive. If you’re not cash or close to it, you’re getting boxed out.
Malone, NY (12953)
This sleepy Adirondack zip is having a moment. Prices are up nearly 50% year-over-year, hitting a median of $178K. It’s scenic, affordable, and drawing buyers looking to unplug without going broke. Call it upstate without the price tag. With numbers like these, it might not stay “undiscovered” for long.
Toledo, OH (43607)
One of the most affordable hot zips in the country. Median listings sit around $90K, but they’ve jumped nearly 50% over the past year. Investors are taking notice, and homes here don’t stay available for long. It’s proof that even Rust Belt metros have their bright spots — especially for buyers priced out elsewhere.
Gladwyne, PA (19035)
Gladwyne is pure prestige. Tucked outside Philly’s Main Line, this zip is now the most expensive in Pennsylvania, with listings averaging $3.7 million. It’s not for budget buyers — but for high-end house hunters, it’s a battlefield. Only a dozen or so listings at a time, all of them custom, gated, or legacy-grade. If you’ve got the cash, you’ll still need luck.
Clintonville, WI (54929)
Yet another Midwest gem lighting up the map. Prices jumped 49.5% year-over-year, with current listings averaging around $270K. It’s quiet, working-class, and finally getting noticed. A classic Main Street town now seeing its moment — and the early numbers suggest it’s not a fluke.
Jackson, WY (83001)
If you’re shopping in the luxury tier, this is the crown jewel. Median list prices in Jackson soared past $3.75 million this year. It’s a limited-inventory, high-demand playground for the ultra-wealthy — and inventory barely lasts. Ski-town status, national park proximity, and natural beauty make this one of the most exclusive zips in America.
Springfield, MA Metro (multiple zips)
This Western Mass metro tied with Manchester — Nashua as one of Realtor.com’s hottest regions for 2025. Median home prices remain under $400K, but supply is tightening and competition’s rising. Ideal for buyers looking to stay in New England without paying Boston prices. Expect offers over asking and fewer days on market — especially under $350K.
