Here are the 5 hottest ZIP codes in the Triangle where buyers are looking for homes
The Triangle housing market is continuing its unprecedented bull run of rising prices and low inventory throughout the pandemic.
Where do people really want to move to?
Zillow, the popular real estate website, offers some clues about which parts of the Triangle seem most attractive to prospective homebuyers.
At The News & Observer’s request, Zillow ranked the most popular ZIP codes in June across Wake, Durham and Orange counties for home searches to see where home buyers are interested in living. The ranking is based on the median daily views of listings on its website.
These are the average home prices associated with that postal code and the Zillow Home Value Index, a seasonally adjusted typical home value for a given geography.
The region’s five hottest ZIP codes have houses priced at $360,000 and above, according to Zillow.
