Four Wisconsin cities made Realtor.com’s top 50 list of the most desirable ZIP codes in the U.S., according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. To determine the rankings for its “Hottest ZIP Codes” list, the company analyzed data from listings on its site from January–June of this year, measuring how many unique viewers visited properties in each ZIP code and the average number of days properties remained on the market in each ZIP code. These numbers were then compared to national averages to determine which areas of the country attract the most views and have the fastest-selling homes (which indicate high interest and limited supply).
Among the top 50 most in-demand ZIP codes this year were the following Wisconsin cities:
-
No. 12 — New Berlin, with homes on the market for a median 23 days and a $408,000 median listing price;
-
No. 41 — Sheboygan, with homes on the market for a median 30 days and a $248,000 median listing price;
-
No. 43 — Oshkosh, with homes on the market for a median 30 days and a $230,000 median listing price; and
-
No. 46 — Janesville, with homes on the market for a median 32 days and a $316,000 median listing price.
New Berlin also ranked fifth among the 10 “Hottest ZIP Codes” in the Midwest — the only Wisconsin city to make that list. Cities from Ohio, Missouri, and Indiana were the only Midwest cities to make the nation’s overall top 10.
