AUSTIN (KXAN) — Six of the nation’s 10 hottest zip codes in 2024 are in Texas, according to real estate site Opendoor.
The site ranked the hottest zip codes nationwide by looking at the number of homes that went into contract within 90 days of listing last year.
In 2024, 77493 and 77433, both in the Houston area, topped the list for areas where people bought homes the fastest. In 2023, the two zip codes were flipped, with 77433 on top.
San Antonio’s 78253 ranked third in 2024, while New Braunfels’ 78130 ranked fourth.
Also in the top 20 were 75126 in Forney, which ranked sixth, 78640 in Kyle, which came in 10th, and McKinney’s 75071, which ranked 12th.
“Over the past three years, we’ve seen people choose to move away from city centers in favor of tighter-knit communities, but still live close enough to commute and be close to the action,” Opendoor said. “This year’s most popular areas are known for being fast-growing cities with plenty of new development, with healthy job growth in Florida and Texas in particular.”
