Realtor.com released the “2025 Hottest Zip Codes in America” on Monday, August 4th, with Beverly, Massachusetts, surpassing all other regions to claim the number one spot on the list.
The zip code 01915 in Beverly had a listing view rate 4.6 times the national average, with a median listing price of $746,000 and a median days on the market of just 16 days. Situated approximately 30 minutes from downtown Boston, Beverly offers a blend of lifestyle convenience and scenic advantages.
According to a report from Fox News, Adeline Matton, the 2025 President of the North Shore REALTORS and a real estate agent at Aluxety Real Estate, mentioned that Beverly residents enjoy a magnificent coastline, local beaches, parks, green spaces, as well as a vibrant arts community and culinary culture.
Realtor.com’s Chief Economist Danielle Hale pointed out that areas able to balance “quality of life, relative affordability, and proximity to economic hubs” are becoming top choices for buyers amidst the dual challenges of high prices and low inventory.
She noted that the top ten hotspots are primarily located in the Northeast and Midwest, largely driven by buyers coming from higher-priced metropolitan areas seeking lower living costs without sacrificing job opportunities and lifestyle conveniences.
The top ten hottest zip codes in America for 2025, according to Realtor.com, are:
– Beverly, MA (01915)
– Malton, NJ (08053)
– Leominster, MA (01453)
– Ballwin, MO (63021)

– Trumbull, CT (06611)
– Cumberland, RI (02864)

Leominster and Ballwin also made the top ten list last year. Realtor.com highlighted that in locations like Beverly (01915), Ballwin (63021), and Wayne (07470), local buyers still make up the majority, with a relatively lower proportion of out-of-town investors.
The “typical buyers” in these hot areas have a median annual income of around $114,000, an average credit score of 759, down payments ranging from $42,000 to $143,000, and a median homeowner age of 56.
Hale added, “These communities largely feature newer, more modern homes compared to the surrounding areas, indicating the crucial role that urban redevelopment and new home construction play in the current tight supply market.”
