Upstate New York Zip Code Listed Among "Six Hottest" Real Estate Markets in America

Realtor.com recently released a list of the hottest zip codes in the country in terms of real estate performance, and one Upstate New York location was included among the nation's top-ten.

On the list of zip codes, Realtor.com said our list of top 10 zip codes shows the concentration of buyer demand in affordable Midwest markets and well-located Northeast markets that offer convenience and value.

As such, the zip code 14534, which belongs to Pittsford, New York (shown below), was listed as the 9th-hottest real estate market in the country in 2023.

Here are some of the details that have made Pittsford stand out this year. The town has a median listing price of $595,000, with a median days on market total of 21 days, and 3.5 more viewers per property when compared to the rest of the country.

Pittsford was one of six Northeast locations included on Realtor.com's list. Southington, CT was the second-most popular location, with Ridgewood, NJ at No. 3; Andover, MA at No. 4; Nazareth, PA at No. 5; and Norwalk, CT at No. 8.
