Even though the summer season is starting to cool down, some New Jersey cities are still hot, according to Realtor.com’s 2024 list of America’s Hottest ZIP Codes.
The annual list looks for locations across the United States that are in high demand among buyers yet remain affordable.
This year, the top 10 list features homes exclusively in the Midwest and Northeast, as each of this year’s top markets attracts buyers looking for a combination of value and curb appeal, the report said.
“While we’ve seen big changes in the real estate market, such as an increase in the number of homes for sale, America’s most desirable zip codes this year show that common factors are driving interest in these highly competitive areas,” said Danielle Hale, chief economist at Realtor.com.
Real estate website rankings are based on an algorithm that takes into account market demand (measured by the number of unique visitors per property on Realtor.com) and market momentum (measured by the number of days a listing remains active on Realtor.com).
The top 50 list includes three zip codes from New Jersey. They are: No. 4 07920 Basking Ridge; No. 6 08054 Mount Laurel; And No. 38 08610 Trenton.
“Although mortgage rate relief is on the horizon, this year’s hottest ZIPs reflect the focus homebuyers have placed on affordability in recent years amid high housing costs,” said Danielle Hale, chief economist at Realtor.com.

“These top 10 zip codes are concentrated in the larger metropolitan areas of the Northeast and Midwest and attract highly qualified homebuyers seeking more space without sacrificing proximity to urban amenities,” Hale said.
